GI Medicine Associates is now using Telemedicine as a safe and effective way to provide care at a distance to our patients. Physicians and patients use a camera and a microphone-equipped device such as a laptop, computer or smartphone in order to see and interact with each other. If you do not have a computer with a camera or smartphone, you may use a regular phone.
Before your scheduled Telehealth appointment time please do the following:
- Ensure equipment is turned on and functioning.
- Be sure to use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
- Have a list of current medications ready, questions for your physician and a list of refills needed.
- Make sure you are in a quiet, distraction-free environment with good internet or cellular signal to ensure the best communication with your physician.
- Review the Telehealth Consent Form below.
When your appointment is scheduled, the receptionist will discuss with you if the appointment will be through Doxy.me or a regular telephone call. If you are scheduled through Doxy.me, please click on the corresponding provider link 10 minutes prior to your appointment time.

You will enter into the Provider’s waiting room and your physician will arrive you as soon as possible. Please allow extra time for the provider to join as they may be running longer with the patient ahead of you.
