Pediatric telehealth FAQs

Can babies get pediatric care online?

Yes, babies can receive pediatric care from an online physician. Our board-certified doctors can treat patients from birth. They can help with various common concerns such as feeding issues, rashes, common cold symptoms, and developmental milestones.

Once a brief medical history is taken and their symptoms are evaluated, our doctors can send a prescription for your child to the local pharmacy, if needed. However, it's important to note that certain conditions or symptoms require in-person examination or emergency care.

What is the use of telemedicine in pediatrics?

Telemedicine has several applications in pediatrics that can greatly enhance the accessibility and convenience of healthcare for children. For example, virtual visits allow physicians to consult with patients and their parents remotely. This can be particularly useful for managing chronic conditions, medication management, or for pediatric urgent care to address acute illnesses such as common colds.

Telemedicine also allows for continuity of care with an online provider when in-person visits, such as during public health crises or severe weather events, might not be possible.

Although telemedicine offers many advantages, it may not be appropriate for all situations. Physical examinations, sports physicals, well-baby/child visits, vaccinations, and some diagnostic tests will still need an in-person visit.
