Make the most of your virtual visit

Device & connection

Use an up-to-date browser, fully charge your device, connect to reliable Wi-Fi or a wired connection, and close unneeded apps and browser tabs.

Have these nearby

Keep your medication list, pharmacy information, questions, and any requested home readings—such as temperature, blood pressure, blood sugar, or oxygen level—within reach.

Privacy & accessibility

Choose a private location and use headphones if others are nearby. Call before the visit if you need an interpreter, caregiver, captions, or another accommodation.

Pediatric visits: The child and a parent or legal guardian should be present unless the clinic has arranged otherwise.

Appropriate care

Some concerns still need an in-person examination

Telehealth can work well for many follow-up visits and selected new concerns, but it cannot replace every examination, test, or procedure. Dr. Burress may recommend office, urgent-care, or emergency evaluation based on your symptoms and location.

The virtual waiting room is not monitored for emergencies.

If you may be experiencing a medical emergency or feel unsafe, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not send private medical information through this public website or ordinary email.
