In-Person or Telemedicine Doctor’s Appointments


 As with many things during the COVID-19 pandemic, visiting your doctor doesn’t always mean going in-person.  In the past year, telemedicine services Hawaii have become part of the new normal; the visits are done virtually, either on a computer or over the phone, in an effort to keep people safe from the COVID-19 virus.  As vaccines start rolling out across Hawaii and the world, the need for telemedicine services should not be underestimated.


 It’s important for us to continue practicing COVID-19 safety measures, as we are still in the midst of the pandemic and by helping keep everyone safe, we get closer to the day when COVID-19 is a thing of the past.  Telemedicine services are not a perfect solution to doctor’s visits during this time, and some medical situations are still best handled by an in-person visit.  Here’s a quick guide to determining if you should schedule an in-person or a telemedicine doctor’s appointment.



Use telemedicine for convenient, low-risk doctor’s visits For many cases, a doctor’s visit is talking about recent symptoms you’ve been having, and a doctor deciding how they should be handled. These conversations can happen easily in a telemedicine session, and can save you the time and energy of having to come down to the doctor’s office. Growing availability of Telemedicine services in Hawaii means you can usually fit appointments in at almost any time or day!


If you’re having symptoms of COVID-19, schedule a telemedicine appointment! If you’re worried about possibly having contracted COVID-19, setting up a telemedicine appointment can help set you in the right direction to getting better! A doctor can review your symptoms and tell you what you should do next, whether that’s go get tested or stay home and quarantine. By scheduling a telemedicine appointment, you’re helping keep everyone safe and stopping the spread of COVID-19.


For more severe medical conditions and symptoms, schedule an in-person appointment. It’s important that you do what’s best for your health, especially now. Some conditions can’t be treated over telemedicine, and require an in-person consultation. If you feel you need to meet with a doctor in person, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment! The pandemic won’t prevent you from being able to get the help you need!


 To help keep everyone safe, make sure to get tested for COVID19 before coming in.  COVID-19 testing in Kailua, Kapolei, Pearl City, and Waikiki is still readily available, fast and easy!
