What is telemedicine?
Dr. Anthony Avitabile at RiverCity Family Medicine in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is now offering Telemedicine. Dr. Avbitable’s number one priority is staff and patient safety. By scheduling a virtual appointment, the patient will still have the ability to meet with the doctor face-to-face, but it will be held in a remote place whether it be at home, work, or any convenient location.
During the virtual appointment, you will be able to speak with the doctor and discuss symptoms and/or share photos of what you are experiencing. Dr. Avitabile will go over medical records/history and discuss next steps to ensure the patient is healthy.
