What does telemedicine entail?

Telemedicine uses online services to facilitate communication between you and your medical provider. Instead of going into an office for care or having your provider visit your home or care facility, you can attend appointments remotely using video calls, phone calls, or private messaging. You can also more easily communicate with your provider between appointments. 

Dr. Tucker offers a multitude of sexual health and wellness services using telemedicine. To attend any telemedicine appointment, all you need is an internet connection and a smartphone, tablet, or computer. You can log in to your appointment from your home, office, hotel room, or anywhere else that’s private and convenient.  

Which services are offered through telemedicine?

Dr. Tucker specializes in OB/GYN services and sexual health and wellness. Through private care or via telemedicine, you can access her services, including:

Contraception management

Want to stay sexually active but avoid pregnancy before you’re ready? Dr. Tucker can prescribe contraceptives that don’t require an office visit, such as birth control pills and contraceptive patches for your skin. 

Hormone replacement therapy

Dr. Tucker can prescribe hormones to reduce symptoms like sexual dysfunction and fatigue when they stem from hormone imbalances. 

Weight loss

Dr. Tucker creates individualized weight-loss programs that sometimes include prescriptions for semaglutide, an injectable medication that suppresses your appetite, lowers your blood sugar, and increases your energy. 

Dr. Tucker can tell you if any other necessary medical services can be conducted using telehealth. 

What are the benefits of utilizing telemedicine?

Telemedicine use has skyrocketed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to benefit patients in many ways. While you may not use telehealth every time you need medical services, some of its most promising benefits are:

• Increased convenience
• More personal comfort during appointments
• No waiting rooms
• Fewer scheduling conflicts
• No costs or time requirement for transportation
• Better assessment in your own home environment
• Reduced transmission of communicable illnesses

Even if a medical test service you need requires a home visit from Dr. Tucker, telehealth lets you avoid the hassle of an in-office follow-up.
