\nTelemedicine refers to a variety of healthcare services that can be offered remotely, whether through a video visit or a phone call. Telemedicine gives you the ability to speak directly with your healthcare provider just as you would in an in-person appointment, but allows both you and your provider to continue social distancing and remain safe.<\/p>\n
\nIf you have an appointment already scheduled with us, you will be receiving a call from us shortly to determine whether your appointment could be rescheduled or conducted via a telemedicine visit.
\nMany of the services that we provide can be performed through live audio-visual communication, such as Zoom. Some visits can even be performed by telephone call, email, or patient portal messaging.<\/p>\n
\nIf you have an eye care need in the coming weeks, including a routine follow-up appointment, please call us at 541-779-4711 to schedule an appointment. We will then perform a brief screening to determine whether the visit can be completed remotely. If possible, we will set up an appointment for you to video chat with your provider.<\/p>\n
\nFor visits that cannot be completed remotely, we will still continue seeing urgent medical visits in our office. Your safety is our top priority, and we are taking every possible precaution by disinfecting and sanitizing our clinic, and maintaining social distancing measures.
