What are the benefits of telemedicine?

Telemedicine provides many advantages, including:

Convenience

Whether you have a busy schedule or simply don’t have the time to visit the office, telemedicine gives you convenient access to high-quality care. These virtual visits eliminate the need for driving, parking, and even taking time off work.

Continuity of care

Telemedicine encourages you to take a proactive role in your own health care by removing the barrier of in-office visits. If you struggle to keep up with your appointments, telemedicine can help you stay on track.

Cost

Many telehealth visits are less expensive than in-office visits. They also eliminate the cost of transportation, childcare, and missed work.

Can telemedicine replace in-office visits?

Telemedicine complements in-office care, but you still need to see Dr. Aguirre in person for services like physical exams and testing.
