Tips For a Successful Virtual Urgent Care Appointment

  • Please test your device here ahead of time, if possible.
  • Select a quiet area that gives you privacy for your video visit. We recommend that it be well lit and away from any windows that might reflect light.
  • Please wear headphones if possible. This will improve your ability to hear your doctor.
  • If you have any device that may assist the doctor during the visit (blood pressure cuff, glucose meter, scale, any wearable device, etc.), please have it accessible.
  • Be prepared with a list of any questions you might have during the visit.
  • Samsung users should make Chrome their default browser.
