URGENT CARE TELEMEDICINE VISITS
FOR DICKINSON, TX & BEYOND
At St. Elizabeth Urgent Care, we are dedicated to keeping our patients happy and healthy. Based in the Dickinson and Houston, TX areas, our urgent care clinics can treat a wide range of ailments for patients throughout the surrounding region. However, if you are unable to visit one of our family urgent care centers, we are proud to offer in-depth virtual urgent care. As communication via technology is advancing, options for health care services are expanding. That is why our family and pediatric urgent care clinics are proud to offer urgent care telemedicine to provide quality health care for our patients when they need it. Telemedicine is defined as, “the remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology.” These services consist of two-way communication between our patients and our medical team via audio and/or video technology.
When you or a loved one are ill or have questions about your condition, you can contact our office to schedule an urgent care telemedicine visit. With access to state-of-the-art equipment and a team of skilled professionals, our urgent care clinics are proud to treat patients in the comfort of their own homes with virtual urgent care. If you’d like to begin an urgent care telemedicine visit, please feel free to reach out.
These urgent care telemedicine visits are an effective option for the treatment of many common illnesses while eliminating person to person transmission of any illness/virus you may have. However, if you are beginning to feel ill or believe you may have contracted the coronavirus, please contact our office. We are now scheduling on-site COVID-19 testing and COVID antibody tests!
Virtual Urgent Care Doctor Visits
Some of the illnesses that may be managed through an urgent care virtual doctor visit include:
- Urinary Tract Infection
- Yeast Infection
- Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
- Muscle Pain/Strain
- Earache
- Migraine Headaches
- Stomach Bug
However, not all illnesses or injuries can be managed through urgent care telemedicine. If you are experiencing emergency situations including heart attacks or strokes, cuts, broken bones, or other injuries that require immediate, hands-on care, telemedicine/virtual visits should not be used, rather a regular, in-person visit should be completed.
