More Detail

Visit duration depends on the complexity of your symptoms and how many questions you have. Simple conditions like UTIs or medication refills may take closer to 10 minutes, while more complex evaluations may take 20 minutes or longer. Our physicians never rush — they provide the same thorough evaluation you would receive in a physical emergency room.
