Telemedicine
Please Note: You Must Have an Appointment to See Your Provider via Telemedicine
If you do not have an appointment, call (504) 529 -5558 to schedule yours. You must have a scheduled appointment in order for our telemedicine system to connect you with your provider.How Does Telemedicine work at St. Thomas?
On the day of your appointment, you will receive a link via text message that will connect you to the provider’s virtual waiting room. If you can access email on your smartphone, you can request that the link be emailed to you instead. After clicking on the link, please follow the instructions on the screen to be checked in to the waiting room (see pictures below for sample screenshots of the check in process).
To optimize your experience and ensure a good connection, we recommend you:
- Please make sure you are in a quiet room.
- Please use Wi-Fi if possible (although data will work well enough usually).
- Please do not drive during the appointment.
Please call us at (504) 529-5558 if you are having any problems checking in. We look forward to seeing you!
