What is telehealth?

Telehealth makes it easy to meet with a qualified health professional for medical guidance without traveling to the office.

You connect with Dr. Massey through an online video conferencing platform called Zocdoc to discuss any new symptoms you experience, concerns about your health, or questions about your treatment for an existing health condition.

While you may still need to come into the office for diagnostic testing, physicals, and preventive screenings, you can take advantage of the convenience telehealth offers for follow-up visits, symptom assessments, and other non-urgent medical services.

What happens during a telehealth appointment?

During a telehealth appointment, you meet with Dr. Massey at a pre-scheduled date and time through the online video platform.

All you need is a high-speed internet connection, a computer, or a smartphone. He can provide information about how to access the Zocdoc appointment ahead of your scheduled date.

You can discuss any health concerns, and Dr. Massey can determine if you need an in-person visit. He can also use telehealth visits to monitor your progress with treatments for an acute or chronic illness.

Telehealth visits are also an excellent time to request prescription refills or adjustments to your treatment plan.

What are the benefits of telehealth?

Dr. Massey uses telehealth to give you access to quality medical guidance no matter where you are — whether you’re at home, in a hotel, or on vacation. Telehealth also helps you stay on top of your health, even if your busy schedule makes in-office visits difficult.

If you become ill while traveling, you can still meet with Dr. Massey to discuss how to move forward. He can determine if you need to seek additional treatment at a hospital and help you coordinate medical care when you’re away from home.

Another benefit of telehealth is eliminating the time and expense of traveling to the office. Even if you don’t have transportation or are too sick to leave home, you can still access exceptional health care services through the online portal.
