Our staff will provide guidance for accessing your telemedicine visit at the time of your appointment.

During your telemedicine appointment, you meet face-to-face with your provider to discuss any new symptoms or address any concerns about your health. Your provider will review your medical history and ask questions about your health.

You can also meet with your physician online for services like:

• Follow-up visits
• Initial diagnostic evaluations
• Medication adjustments
• Referrals for specialist care

Telemedicine doesn’t eliminate the need for in-office visits, but the online platform does make it easier to meet with your physician when you can’t travel to the office. Your provider can determine if you need an in-office visit during your telemedicine conference.

What are the benefits of telemedicine?

Telemedicine offers many benefits for busy families. If your busy schedule makes it challenging to meet with your family physician, you can still access their advice through the online platform. It's also helpful to meet with your doctor if you don’t have reliable childcare or transportation to the office.

The telemedicine platform available at Bossier Family Medicine, LLC, also offers benefits like:

• Convenience
• No travel costs
• Continuity in care
• Flexible scheduling

Meeting with your physician online also helps prevent the spread of contagious diseases like flu and COVID-19. If you’re feeling sick or are immunocompromised, you can stay away from the public and still meet with your physician online.

You also get personalized, one-on-one contact with your physician to stay on top of your changing health needs.
