Real-time, virtual visits conducted from the safety and comfort of your own home. Virtual visits are similar to in-office appointments where a VCS physician will review:
- Current cardiac concerns/problems
- Address medication questions, management, and refills
- Discuss recent procedures
- Share test or lab results
- Provide patient education
Please note, due to the evolving nature of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) this virtual visit may not be with your typical VCS provider.
