Seeing your OBGYN from home using your laptop, tablet, or smartphone for a telemedicine video visit is an option at The Woman’s Group Tampa
The Woman’s Group recognizes fear and concern are growing concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the United States. With multiple cases diagnosed across Florida, we want our treasured OBGYN patients to stay safe, calm, and informed about the ways to reduce public exposure and practice social distancing.
*UPDATED ON APRIL 8, 2020
In addition to traditional office visits, The Woman’s Group offers Telemedicine Video Visits for some types of appointments. During these visits, you can expect a one-on-one, secure video conference between you and your doctor. These visits take place by utilizing your smartphone, tablet, or personal computer. For these appointments you never have to leave your home or place of business. Just make sure you have a location where you can converse and talk with your doctor privately. The connection is secure and your doctor will be in a private room at the office.
At The Woman’s Group, we are doing the things we can to support our community of patients with the latest technology in patient care. We use the highest grade security for these new technologies to ensure peace of mind. We are continuing to deliver excellent patient care and ongoing support to our patients during these times of uncertainty and concern. Together we can stand calm, stay strong, make smart decisions for our families’ health and ultimately do what women do best – hold ourselves and our communities together.
