Telemedicine

Telemedicine is defined as “the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient’s clinical health status.” What does that mean for you as a parent? It means that medical care is easier than ever to obtain for you and your children.

Shining Star Pediatrics in Longview, Texas, offers telemedicine visits for prompt expert care for all children in its care. Televisits not only provide fast service but save time and travel expenses for parents.

Parents are more cautious about taking their children out in public, especially to a doctor’s office where exposure to sickness and Covid is higher. Telemedicine allows certain office visits to be performed online through audio/video sessions with the staff at Shining Star Pediatrics through your computer or smartphone. Our office is taking new patients, and appointments are available today.

Telemedicine provides not only convenience but reduces work absenteeism and time away from school for the children.

Several types of visits can be handled during a telemedicine visit, including sickness assessments, regular follow-up visits for chronic health conditions, and counseling sessions for behavioral problems, anxiety, or depression.
