Telehealth Services
Telehealth services are now available at Gastro Health, allowing patients to get the care they need from the safety of home. Patients need to have access to a smartphone, tablet or computer that has a camera and a microphone.
Our doctors are using a variety of methods to facilitate the visits – Zoom, GoToMeeting, eClinicalWorks Healow, doxy.me, Skype and WhatsApp. When you call to schedule, our teammates will walk you through the process to see what’s best for you and help you get set up.
