The Doctors Clinic virtual appointments provide you access to your primary care physician — when and where you need them.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Doctors Clinic providers are available, by appointment, for virtual consultations, diagnosis and treatment through live video chat. All aspects of the visits are similar to an in-person appointment, but are conveniently available from the comfort of your own home.
Individual providers will make the decision to open virtual appointments on a case by case basis, based on the needs of the patient.
