Video Doctor Appointments

While we love it when you visit us in the office, we do understand that it’s not always convenient to do so. Secure video visits allow you to receive the same quality care as you do in the office, without taking time off work or having to find a sitter to see your doctor.

Telemedicine is not regulated in Florida, consequently insurances will not pay for the service. Medicare only pay for the service in medically scarce areas, not in Naples. Florida still pending for state regulations to make insurances pay for your video visit.

WHEN LOGIN YOUR VIDEO VISIT PLEASE PRESS “SELF PAY”, THE FIXED FEE IS $60 FOR 5-10 MINUTES CONVERSATION WITH YOUR DOCTOR (not by a nurse).
