Telehealth

What is telehealth?

Telehealth is a convenient way of receiving medical care using technology. 

Instead of going to your provider’s office, you can connect with them from home or any other location. Telehealth is beneficial if you have a busy schedule, live far from a clinic, or have difficulty traveling. It can help you access the care you need quickly and easily.

At Gulf Coast Medical Clinic, the team proudly offers telehealth services to ensure you receive quality care no matter where you are.

Flexibility

With adaptable scheduling and shorter appointments, telehealth can accommodate busy lifestyles so you get the care you need.

Reduced exposure to illness
