Telemedicine Specialist

What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine is a branch of health care that allows you to access medical care without having to leave your home. Instead of attending an in-office appointment, you can speak with your provider at Stephen Renzi Medical PC through video conferencing, a phone call, or an online portal, making it easier and more cost-effective to receive medical care.

You may hear the term telemedicine used interchangeably with telehealth. While related, the two are distinctly different. Telemedicine is just one aspect of telehealth. Telehealth is a broad approach that places technology at the heart of patient care. It includes physician training, medical education, online booking portals — and telemedicine.

What are the benefits of telemedicine?

Telemedicine has made health care more accessible. Many people have busy schedules, and it's not always possible to get into an office and see a doctor in person. Remote health care allows you to receive the care you need at a time and place that suits you. Other benefits of telemedicine include:

Less reliance on emergency care

Ignoring illness or disease only leads to it getting worse. Telemedicine is fast and convenient, so people are more likely to seek treatment for a health concern than ignore it.

Fast diagnosis

Most of the time, you can receive a rapid, accurate diagnosis of your condition and an individualized treatment program on the same day as your appointment, without leaving your home.

Preventive care

You can stay on top of new health concerns and monitor ongoing issues easily and effectively with remote check-ins with your doctor.

Cheaper medical costs

Telemedicine visits are typically cheaper than in-person appointments.
