Telemedicine

There are many reasons it may not be convenient for you to come into the clinic for an appointment.

Perhaps you’re wondering:

  • Do I need to see a doctor for this?
  • Is this (bump/pain/rash) something serious?
  • I’m crazy busy. Can I just talk to a doctor for a few minutes?

In all cases, it’s absolutely OK. This – and much more – is exactly what telemedicine is for.

In many cases, we’ve found that people do want to be proactive about their health – but time/convenience/financial obstacles prevent that from happening. At EMC Express Care in North Richland Hills, Texas, we want to be sure you get the medical care you need, when and where you need it.

That’s why we offer virtual, real-time video visits with a healthcare professional – a timesaving convenience that can’t be beat! Bonus: It’s more affordable than you think.

Don’t ignore your health. Schedule a virtual visit with an EMC Express Care healthcare professional today, and never leave the comfort of your couch.
