FAQs: General Qs About Telehealth

We completely understand that you're nervous right now.

If you are a current Chase Brexton patient, we can definitely see if your appointment could be a telehealth visit - many appointments can be.

If your appointment needs to be done in-person, we want you to know that we are taking EVERY precaution for the health of our patients, staff, and community:

  • All individuals entering any Chase Brexton Center will be screened for symptoms of COVID-19. Anyone with symptoms will be taken to a safe exam space to receive care.
  • All staff you will encounter will be wearing a face mask.
  • Every frequently touched surface is disinfected continuously throughout the day.
  • All waiting areas are reconfigured to ensure physical social distance of 6 feet.

During a telehealth visit, your provider can help you with many things such as:

  • hospital and routine follow-ups;
  • medication refills;
  • counseling and psychotherapy - anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use treatment, and more;
  • pain – joint, muscle, headaches, sprains and strains;
  • digestive issues – indigestion, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea;
  • general physical issues – fever, sleep disturbances, pink eye;
  • respiratory issues – coughing, asthma, allergies, sore throat;
  • skin issues - rashes, acne, infections;
  • and more.

Chase Brexton’s goal is to provide you high quality, affirming health care no matter what. Sometimes, we will need to see you in person.

But many issues, medical and behavioral, can be evaluated, discussed, and managed using telehealth! Either way, you will get care that is just for you - wherever you are.

You should set yourself up in a quiet space so you and your provider can talk without being disturbed.

It's also good to write down the following so you don't forget things you wanted to talk with your provider about during the appointment:

  • an up-to-date list of medications you are taking, 
  • any questions or health concerns you are having, and
  • any health documents or lab results you recently received.  

Yes! Sometimes you may need to be seen in-person to get the care you need for your health concern. This could be for a lot of reasons, like for labs or for a hands-on diagnosis. 

If your provider decides you need to be seen in-person, we want you to know that we are taking EVERY precaution for the health of our patients, staff, and community:

  • All individuals entering any Chase Brexton Center will be screened for symptoms of COVID-19. Anyone with symptoms will be taken to a safe exam space to receive care.
  • All staff you will encounter will be wearing a face mask.
  • Every frequently touched surface is disinfected continuously throughout the day.
  • All waiting areas are reconfigured to ensure physical social distance of 6 feet.
