We’ve expertly designed our telehealth services to seamlessly integrate with your lifestyle—whatever yours may look like.
This means you can receive expert medical advice, continue your ongoing treatments, and have consultations with your trusted physician, all with the same level of personalized care you’re accustomed to, but now with added convenience and flexibility. Whether on a business trip, vacation, or away from home, our commitment to your health travels with you, ensuring peace of mind and continuous care at your fingertips.
What To Expect
Your Telehealth Appointment
Virtual Discovery Call
The first step to becoming a new patient at Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine is scheduling a virtual discovery call. During this call, you’ll have time to get to know your doctor, ask questions about our direct care approach, and openly discuss your goals for care. If we conclude that we are an ideal fit, we may schedule your first telehealth visit. Our physicians limit the number of patients we see so that we can give you the time you need.
Telehealth Visit
We primarily offer telehealth visits to provide convenient follow-up appointments in between your annual check-ups and after treatments for common conditions. During your private call with your doctor, we’ll review your progress and provide detailed recommendations to streamline your post-treatment recovery, manage your medications, initiate healthy lifestyle changes, and more.
Ongoing Care
Depending on the nature of your telehealth visit in Fort Lauderdale, your doctor may recommend scheduling an in-office appointment to perform a physical exam and/or lab tests. Our doctors are committed to helping you achieve your mental, physical, and lifestyle goals through personalized care plans that evolve with you.
Your Health Journey, Our Priority
During a telehealth session with our concierge patients, we delve into an in-depth conversation that spans various essential health topics. Whether you’re experiencing new symptoms, need to follow up on chronic conditions, or want to explore lifestyle modifications, our calls are tailored to address your unique health needs.
We also focus on mental health, understanding its vital role in your overall well-being. Medication changes can be discussed and adjusted as needed, ensuring your treatment plan is always optimized.
Convenient, Comprehensive Care
