Telemedicine is a two-way interactive audio and video medical visit. This is similar to a Skype or Facetime call where you and the medical provider are both able to see and talk with each other in real time over a computer or smartphone.

Currently we’re accepting telemedice patients in Iowa, New Mexico, and Utah.

This platform allows the company to securely set up appointments, provide telehealth services and document medical records. There will be links from our company website to the Kareo system which allow you to request appointments, conduct telehealth visits, view your patient portal, and review educational materials.

Any needed prescriptions are electronically sent to the local pharmacy of your choice. You will need to pick up the medication there. For your convenience, we carry the first dose of many medications which could prevent the need to rush to the pharmacy the same day. 

Current laws prevent us from carrying controlled substances in a mobile setting. In the rare occasion that a condition warrants a controlled substance prescription, one may be provided. We do not refill chronic pain medications and will check the controlled substance database to evaluate prescription history prior to any prescription decisions.
