How does telemedicine work?

For your telemedicine appointment, you enter a private video conference room or start a private video chat with your provider at Monarch Concierge MD - Hilton Head. During this appointment, you can see them, and vice versa. 

They discuss your symptoms with you and may ask a variety of questions about your condition. In some cases, they may ask you to move your camera so they can see something better. For example, if you have a cut on your arm, they may ask you to move your arm to the camera. 

At the end of your telemedicine appointment, you receive specific instructions regarding injury treatment, illness care, or chronic disease management. You may also receive medication prescription instructions at that time.
