Telehealth With Great Neck Family Foot Care
With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing on, our team at Great Neck Family Foot Care is doing all we can to keep patients protected. One of our newest methods of patient protection is the incorporation of telehealth into our services. A virtual appointment with our expert podiatrist, Dr. Hochstein, is just as effective as a personal one. To learn how to schedule your appointment, please continue reading.
How To Schedule
Those interested in scheduling a virtual appointment for our podiatric services need to do nothing more than visit our website. Once you have entered our homepage, a textbox will pop up, asking if you’d like to schedule a virtual appointment. If you would, click into the box, and you will be prompted to fill out a form. The request form will have you put in information such as your:
- Name.
- Phone number.
- Email address.
- Preferred date and time for an appointment.
Once this is filled out, you’ll have to wait for a member of our office to confirm you have been scheduled. Then, at the time of your appointment, return to this request form, scroll to the bottom, and click the check-in button to enter the secure video platform.
Why Choose Telehealth
For many people, the idea of going through a virtual appointment with their doctor is a new one. While you may be apprehensive at first, Dr. Hochstein wants to ensure that, for the most part, the only difference between telehealth appointments and regular appointments is that you won’t be in the same room. Our team will still be able to diagnose almost all of the common foot problems our patients tend to face. If you suspect you’re dealing with any of the below, we can help:
- Bunions.
- Ankle bursitis.
- Sprains.
- Hammertoe.
- Ingrown toenails.
- Breaks or fractures.
- Fungal infections.
Secured Network
One of the most common hesitations we find patients can have with telehealth is security concerns. To ease your mind with this, Dr. Hochstein would like to confirm that any medical office implementing telehealth services need to do it in a HIPAA compliant way. The video call takes place over is a secured connection, and only you and the doctor will have access to it.
