What are the benefits of meeting with a telemedicine doctor?
Meeting with a telemedicine doctor offers various benefits. For one, it allows you to meet with Dr. Salib from the comfort of home. If you have children or an elderly family member who requires round-the-clock care, you don’t have to worry about finding someone to cover while you’re away.

What can I expect at an appointment with a telemedicine doctor?
At MyDoc Urgent Care, Dr. Salib tailors telemedicine appointments to each individual’s needs.
First, he asks about the reason for your visit. Since he’s unable to perform a physical exam over the phone or computer, Dr. Salib asks about your symptoms and lifestyle. He might also ask you to point your camera at specific parts of your body, like your mouth if you have a sore throat or your abdomen if you’re bloated.
If necessary, Dr. Salib might also order lab tests, like blood work or urinalysis. You visit MyDoc Urgent Care in person or a laboratory facility near your home to complete these tests.
After gathering enough information, Dr. Salib makes a diagnosis and develops a custom treatment plan to help you feel better.
