How Does a Virtual Visit Work?

During this time when we are unable to see patients in the clinic for non-urgent issues, we are now offering telehealth or “virtual visits” so that we can continue to see and care for our patients. Following are a few details on how these visits are conducted and who is eligible.

Some of the types of appointments that are eligible for a virtual visit include: anxiety, depression, birth control consult, urinary tract infections, lab consults, prescription refill requests, yeast infections, rashes and more.

When you make your appointment or call to reschedule, indicate that you would like a virtual visit.
You will need to provide an email address so our staff can send you a link from a website called Doxy.me that you will use to connect with your provider.
Upon scheduling your appointment, you will be sent the link and advised to log on 5-10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time to access the “Virtual Waiting Room.”
When the provider is ready, he or she will call you to conduct your appointment via a video conferencing platform.
These are considered normal office visits and you will be billed accordingly.

Please know our staff is happy to help answer your questions and help you determine if your appointment can be done via a virtual visit.

Tell me more about ultrasounds

If you are pregnant—or struggling to get pregnant—you may have already had an ultrasound. These safe imaging tests, also called sonograms, use sound waves to take a closer look at your organs and tissues and to monitor fetal growth and development during pregnancy. An ultrasound can help predict your anticipated date of delivery and show baby’s shape and position—not to mention multiple pregnancies.

The ins and outs of pelvic floor therapy

From pelvic pain to incontinence and endometriosis to pregnancy and postpartum issues, pelvic floor therapy can improve quality of life and overall function for women of all ages.

Ask Sofia: How much postpartum bleeding is normal?

Postpartum bleeding, also known as lochia, is a natural part of the healing process after delivery. According to Dr. Pamela Jordi, you should expect bleeding—with or without clots—like a heavy period for several days post-delivery.

Chronic yeast infections

While most women experience at least one yeast infection—characterized by itching, swelling, discharge and vaginal pain—in their lifetime, about eight percent of women face four or more a year. These chronic yeast infections occur when the normal balance of bacteria and yeast in the vagina is altered. They can be caused by a variety of factors such as antibiotics, pregnancy, diabetes, genetics, sexual activity and wearing wet clothing. Sometimes, the cause is unknown.

Ask Sofia: How do I know if my period is too heavy?

Over the course of your lifetime, your period will change—and they can get especially heavy early on, after pregnancy or breastfeeding, and even during menopause. However, if your period is starting to feel like it’s always heavy, then it’s likely time to see your doctor.
