How do virtual visits work?

Virtual visits are appointments that don’t require going to the office. Instead, you use a personal digital device like a phone, computer, or tablet to discuss your symptoms with your provider.

Virtual visits involve a video call so your provider can see and talk to you simultaneously. That makes it easy for them to evaluate symptoms like rashes or eye redness. Some illnesses require further investigation that isn’t possible with a virtual visit, but many illnesses can be diagnosed with virtual care.

When should I schedule a virtual visit?

Calvary Urgent Care may be able to see you virtually if you are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms. Although in-person visits are often preferred for more extensive evaluations or in-office procedures, many urgent care issues may benefit from virtual visits. Common urgent care issues include:

• Pink eye
• Cold and flu symptoms
• Hair loss
• Allergies
• Erectile dysfunction
• Urinary tract infection (UTI) symptoms
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Cold sores
• Sinus infections
• Asthma
• Headache
• Head lice
• Heartburn
• Rashes and skin infections
• Sunburn
• Yeast infections
• Tick bites
• Tobacco cessation

After reviewing your symptoms and medical history, your provider can recommend home care or prescribe medications based on your diagnosis and needs. They might also refer you to specialists for additional care or invite you to Calvary Urgent Care for an in-person appointment.

What are the benefits of virtual visits?

Virtual visits offer many benefits. While a virtual visit isn’t the best choice for every appointment, it is often a convenient alternative to in-person urgent care.

You might prefer a virtual visit because:

• You don’t need to sit in a waiting room
• It helps control the spread of infectious illnesses
• You can stay in the comfort of your home or hotel room
• It helps you avoid transportation challenges

After an urgent care virtual visit, you can immediately access your provider’s notes in the secure electronic system.

If you’re unsure whether a virtual visit is an appropriate option for your situation, Calvary Urgent Care can advise you when you call to schedule your appointment.
