Telehealth

Did you know that many of the illnesses, aches, and pains that come up suddenly can be treated virtually? Telehealth is a great way to consult with a specialist from the comfort of your home or anywhere you are in the world. That’s why Louis Graham, FNP, ENP, and the Summit Health Family and Urgent Care team in Haltom City, Texas, offer convenient telehealth appointments. To book your virtual appointment, call now or use the online scheduling feature.

What is telehealth? 

Telehealth is a convenient way for you to connect with your Summit Health Family and Urgent Care provider remotely — through video chats, phone calls, a secure portal, and instant messaging. All you need is a laptop, smartphone, or tablet with a camera.

Instead of going to the clinic in Haltom City, Texas, you’ll click a designated link, have your appointment wherever you are, and get helpful medical attention, prescriptions, and a treatment plan virtually. 

What conditions are treated with telehealth? 

Not all illnesses or issues require an in-person visit with a doctor or medical provider. Louis and the team at Summit Health Family and Urgent Care use telehealth to treat a wide range of nonemergency issues, including:

• Allergies
• Flu
• COVID-19
• Asthma
• Strep throat
• Body aches
• Headaches and migraines
• Sinus problems
• Infections
• Pink eye
• Minor lacerations
• Flesh wounds
• Sprains, strains, and pulled muscles
• Stomach aches
• Insect bites
• Toothaches
• Joint pain
• Respiratory virus
• Gastrointestinal conditions
• Urinary tract infections

There are many other conditions that may work well with telehealth medical support, so call to discuss your unique concern with the friendly team and see if a virtual appointment is best for you.

If you’re experiencing a prolonged fever, chest pain, severe vomiting or diarrhea, or you broke a bone, you’ll need to see a provider in person as soon as possible. If your condition is life-threatening, call 911 and go to the emergency room right away.

What can I expect during a telehealth appointment?

A telehealth appointment is just like an in-person appointment, but you meet with your provider via video. To get started, call or click for an appointment. Then, at your scheduled time, you’ll click the link to start the secure video call, discuss your symptoms and concerns with Louis, and tell him about your medical history and any medications you’re taking.

During your online urgent care session, Louis makes a diagnosis, outlines a treatment plan, writes any necessary prescriptions, and sends them to your designated pharmacy. 

For easy online medical care and support, typically on the same or the next day, call now or click online to set up your urgent care telehealth appointment.
