Telemedicine
Telemedicine, or a "virtual visit", is a consultation with one of our physicians or nurse practitioners via video conferencing.
Telemedicine is also a wonderful tool that we have at Riverside Pediatrics to connect our patients with the best in subspecialty care from the comfort and convenience of your home.
We are affiliated with the SC Telehealth Alliance via the Medical University of South Carolina to provide Telehealth Services for a variety of subspecialty services including pediatric nutrition and child psychiatry.
The opportunities for telemedicine are growing every day, and we are excited to be on the forefront of this technology to provide the best care for our patients within the medical home.
Virtual visits are not for all conditions and not all insurance companies will cover these visits. Please check with your insurance company to see if telemedicine visits are covered prior to the appointment.
We can provide care for most of the following acute care concerns:
- Rash
- Pink eye without fever in children over 2
- Allergies
- Constipation, diarrhea or vomiting
- Minor traumas (lacerations, abrasions, bites)
