Telehealth

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth, or a “virtual visit,” is a consultation with Dr. Kuo via video conferencing. This option is convenient, allows you to be seen without coming into our office, and provides care by Dr. Kuo (who knows your full history and has access to your medical chart).


Virtual visits are not for all conditions. Please call ahead to confirm.

Before Your Appointment


  • If cough or difficulty breathing, check your respiratory rate (count the breaths per minute) and heart rate (see FAQs below)
  • Take several close-up photos of the rash to send (if requested).
  • Write down all of the medicines you have been taking, including ibuprofen or acetaminophen
  • Have current medications or inhalers/spacers available for viewing during the visit
  • Write down any questions you have, so you don't forget them during your telehealth visit

Different Types of Telehealth Appointments

Not all acute care concerns can be treated via telehealth. We cannot listen to your lungs or see your ears, we cannot evaluate ear pain, or significant coughs, or assess concerns that require laboratory evaluation such as urinary tract infections and strep or flu testing via telehealth. 


It is also possible that after video conferencing, we may ask you to come in for an in-person sick visit if we need to perform a physical exam that reaches beyond the abilities of video conferencing.

Appointments for telehealth visits can be made through our front desk or the portal. As of April 2021, many insurers no longer cover telehealth appointments. Please contact your insurer to confirm coverage before booking an appointment.
