More Detail

Pediatric telemedicine visits require the presence of a parent or legal guardian. Our physicians can evaluate your child via video, diagnose common conditions, and prescribe age-appropriate medications sent to your pharmacy. For infants under 3 months with fever over 100.4°F, difficulty breathing, or other serious symptoms, we recommend seeking in-person emergency care immediately.
