We get it—taking off work or taking away from quality time with your family to drive to the doctor’s office isn’t something most people look forward to. After all, that’s why almost a fourth of people haven’t been to the doctor in more than 5 years.
At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, we’re committed to changing that, and that starts with making care convenient and accessible—putting the power back in your hands. From shopping for skincare products to checking in with your doctor, you can do it all online now.
So, how do you know if you should opt for an in-person or virtual doctor visit in Fort Lauderdale? We’re here to make deciding if telehealth is your best option
When to Schedule a Virtual Visit
The last thing you want to do when you’re sick is get out of bed. Instead of making the trip to a boutique doctor near you, you can simply text our doctors to set up a virtual appointment—no need to wait to be seen!
Beyond diagnosing and treating coughs, common colds, sinus infections, and other viruses, we also offer telemedicine in Fort Lauderdale for:
- Mental health concerns
- Medication guidance and refills
- Follow-ups and recovery
- Reviewing lab results
- Lifestyle guidance
- Common skin concerns (such as acne)
If you’re struggling with a chronic condition and need to monitor your vitals regularly, we can also provide tools like a blood pressure cuff for you to use at home during your virtual visits.
When to Schedule an In-Person Visit
In the case of an emergency, you should always meet a doctor in person. We are always available to discuss your medical concerns, but we are not the emergency room or urgent care. If you need medical attention immediately, telehealth is not the right choice for you.
If your primary doctor needs to perform a physical exam or lab tests, they’ll ask you to schedule an in-person visit. If your dermatologist needs to examine pigmentation issues, you’ll need to come to our office for an up-close inspection.
If you’re ever unsure if an in-person visit—or urgent care trip—is necessary, don’t hesitate to ask our doctors. That’s what we’re here for!
