How telehealth works for primary care in Durham

Telehealth works by connecting you with our doctors through video visits from your home or office. You book online, meet with licensed North Carolina physicians who hold full medical credentials, and get the same medical care as traditional visits. Our doctors handle symptoms, create treatment plans, and send prescription refills directly to your local pharmacy. Follow-up appointments get scheduled automatically so you never miss important checkups. The whole process takes less time than driving to a regular doctor's office. You get prescription refills without missing work or rearranging your schedule, which matters when you're juggling family and career demands. Our Durham physicians balance convenience with medical excellence by providing thorough evaluations through video technology. Licensed doctors review your health history, discuss symptoms, order lab work when needed, and monitor ongoing conditions like diabetes or blood pressure. Medical credentials get woven naturally into the experience because you see your doctor's qualifications displayed during every visit. Same medical attention, just delivered where you need it.
