For current patients here is our current workflow regarding appointments:

We are utilizing doxy.me/machadomd for secure video visits. This encompasses all of our follow up visits, chronic disease visits, and most of our acute visits, including those with upper respiratory symptoms (fever and cough etc). This works amazingly well. I prefer video over phone, but for those of my patients who are unable to use a video method we will use the phone. If you need an appointment, please call us to schedule.
- The video service works pretty slick, but you do have to read and follow the prompts to allow the website access to your camera and microphone. After that its very simple. No download needed, its works entirely within the browser of your smartphone or laptop.
Physical/wellness visits - all preventative care - is being postponed at this time. We are postponing people the week before. A lot of time patients come to a wellness visit with things other concerns, so we’re offering a televisit in replacement, but still rescheduling the preventative part.
We are still seeing some patients in person, for things that can be done in person, such as procedures that are not able to be postponed.
