Wouldn’t it be great if you could get immediate professional medical advice if your child gets sick in the middle of the night? You can with telemedicine. Board-certified physicians are ready for you to call 24 hours a day to help you diagnose conditions, recommend treatments and can even write prescriptions, right over the phone. Consultations are free and can help you save time by avoiding unnecessary visits to the ER or doctor’s office and getting treatment recommendations sooner.
