What you can do today

Prepare: Choose a quiet, private space; test your camera and mic. Organize: List symptoms, start dates, medications, and allergies. Ask: Share your goal for the visit and ask for a clear plan and red-flag symptoms to watch for. Follow up: Use reminders to complete lab work, referrals, or home exercises.

Privacy and safety, in short

Look for platforms with encryption, strict access controls, and audit logs. Protect your account with a strong, unique password and sign out on shared devices. If something feels off, verify messages by logging into your account directly.

When virtual care is (and isn’t) right

Great for follow-ups, medication questions, mental health check-ins, and wellness planning. Seek urgent or emergency care for severe chest pain, shortness of breath, heavy bleeding, serious injury, or new neurological symptoms. When unsure, start virtually—triage helps you choose safely.

Mental health note: Try box breathing (4–4–4–4) or a quick body scan before your session to reduce tension.
