Telemedicine in Amarillo, Texas

Virtual ER brings board-certified emergency physicians and nurse practitioners to patients in Amarillo and throughout Potter County. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Telemedicine is available in Amarillo right now: Virtual ER connects you with a board-certified emergency physician by video, 24/7, from anywhere in Amarillo or Potter County. A visit works like this: you start online, describe what is going on, and the physician evaluates your symptoms, answers your questions, and builds a treatment plan. When medication is appropriate, a prescription goes electronically to an Amarillo pharmacy of your choice or to a mail-order pharmacy. Because our physicians are trained in emergency medicine, they can also give you a straight answer on the question behind many telemedicine searches: is this something a video visit can handle, or do I need to be seen in person? For a city of about 206,000 residents, that means round-the-clock access to emergency-trained physicians and honest guidance on when in-person care is the safer choice.
