Telemedicine

To all patients,
WE ARE OPEN! Starting on Monday March 23, 2020 all office visits were converted to video calls by default (aka “telemedicine”) until further notice.

This is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to promote public health & safety for our patients/staff/families. In a telehealth visit, patients are seen via face-to-face video using smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. You can be at home, at work…anywhere with good video & internet. Rest assured, we are able to accomplish most tasks through remote visits including ordering tests/prescriptions/referrals/etc.

If a patient is unable to do a video visit or even a phone call, accommodations can be made for an in-office visit. In addition, some patients may need to come for in-office evaluation per the doctor’s recommendation.

With the doxy.me app or website you can have a secure live videochat with Dr. Madamba.
