Frequently Asked Questions

What is virtual urgent care?

Living Water Community Health and Wellness Clinic offers virtual urgent care services so that patients can address immediate health issues quickly and conveniently. Telemedicine provides the same standard of care involved with a typical visit, except that you meet with your Living Water Clinic provider remotely. The practice uses an intuitive and HIPAA-compliant video conferencing software that allows your physician to assess your medical complaints and discuss treatment solutions. Your doctor can even send prescriptions to your pharmacy electronically while on the call with you. Telemedicine is ideal for patients with busy schedules and those who may be too sick to make a trip to the office safely. Even patients with limited technological experience can easily complete a virtual visit with little to no guidance. Even so, the friendly team is always available to help.

What services can I receive through virtual urgent care?

You can expect many of the same expert services offered at Living Water Clinic by using the convenient telemedicine solution. Some of the treatment and counseling services offered via virtual urgent care include:

Cold and influenza (flu) care
Cough, sore throat, congestion treatments
Vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration care
Sports injury assessments
Chronic pain follow-ups
Sprain and strain assessments
Nutritional counseling
Diabetes management
Dermatology care

While telemedicine is excellent for immediate issues, patients who require ongoing medical care for chronic diseases can also take advantage of virtual visits for their follow-ups. Patients who receive regular advice for weight loss and nutrition can also use telemedicine.

Is virtual urgent care effective?

Virtual urgent care upholds the same standards you would expect with in-person medical treatment. The video conferencing software allows your doctor at Living Water Clinic to effectively examine your issues and prescribe appropriate therapies. If you or a family member experiences an acute medical issue that is not life-threatening, contact the team for a prompt and convenient virtual urgent care appointment.
