Integrated Telemedicine Services for Shelton, CT, Patients
At PhysicianOne Urgent Care in Shelton, Connecticut, we are pleased to offer 24/7 integrated telemedicine services, which make it even more convenient and accessible for you to receive high-quality healthcare. Our virtual visits (also known as telehealth visits) provide a safe and efficient way to consult with experienced healthcare providers without the need to leave your home.
What Is Telemedicine?
Telemedicine leverages technology to connect patients with qualified healthcare providers remotely (and at PhysicianOne Urgent Care, we connect you with local providers). It allows you to have a consultation with a provider via a secure and private video-conferencing platform on your mobile device or computer. During the virtual visit, you can see, hear, and interact with your provider just as you would during an in-person visit.
When to Choose a Virtual Visit
Telemedicine is an excellent option for some types of non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries. It's a convenient way to receive care for conditions such as:
- Sinus and respiratory infections, including the common cold and flu
- Mild asthma and allergy symptoms
- Gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
- Sore throats
- Eye infections
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Mild COVID-19 symptoms
- Insect bites
- Minor burns
However, if you have an illness or injury that requires hands-on testing or treatment (e.g., strep throat, a broken bone, or a joint sprain), you will need to visit our urgent care center in person. If you fall ill or get injured outside of our extended operating hours, you can always speak to a provider via a virtual visit to determine if you should head straight to the emergency room or visit our Shelton location once it opens.
