Telemedicine
See us from the comfort of your own home
About Women Ob-Gyn offers video-based virtual visits so you can “see” us and receive care right from the safety and comfort of home. Instead of visiting our office, you can join your physician online over a secure video connection. You receive the same great care and information you expect from an in-person visit to About Women Ob-Gyn.
Telemedicine is a great alternative for visits that do not require a physical exam like follow-up visits, reviewing lab and test results, discussing your imaging results such as Dexascans, mammograms, and ultrasounds, and much more.
No more getting stuck in traffic, wasting time finding parking, or taking away from your busy schedule. Virtual Visits with your physician are easy and can be booked at your convenience from the comfort of your home.
How it works:
- Call our office at 703-878-0740 to book your virtual visit
- You will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to connect to your provider using your smartphone, laptop, or tablet device
- Join the appointment and wait for your doctor to start the visit
