Call the Beverly Hills Medical Institute’s office in Los Angeles today to schedule a telehealth appointment or set one up on this website.

What is telehealth?

Telehealth is a state-of-the-art way for Dr. Tavassoli to monitor and improve your health. Instead of coming into the office regularly, she’s able to check in with you while you sit in the comfort of your own home or workplace.

Technology is what fuels telehealth communications. You can dial in and talk to Dr. Tavassoli over your lunch break at work or while you’re on vacation to discuss a sudden illness.

Telehealth uses smartphones, tablets, and computers to make health care access easier for everyone.

This is also important when it comes to containing viruses. If you’re sick, there’s no need to make a trip to the office, which exposes other people to your illness. Telehealth allows you to talk to Dr. Tavassoli without having to leave the confines of your house, protecting her and other patients alike.

What can be done over a telehealth visit?

Telehealth has changed the health care industry, making it more accessible to everyone around the globe. Other than a physical exam and things like blood tests, there’s not much that can’t be done in a telehealth visit.

Dr. Tavassoli is proud to offer telehealth visits at her practice and provides several services through this outlet, including:

• Giving results of a lab test or imaging study
• Medication management
• Follow-up care after surgery
• Assessment of skin conditions
• Online therapy and counseling
• Urgent issues like acute illnesses
• Physical and occupational therapy
• Chronic disease management

The goal of telehealth is to get you the fastest and most accessible care possible to ensure that you stay healthy. The convenience is an added bonus for your busy lifestyle.

What are the benefits of telehealth?

There are many advantages to telehealth visits over traditional, in-office care. While Dr. Tavassoli still provides in-office visits, she’s happy to share these benefits with her telehealth patients:

• Provides after-hours care
• Getting care even when you’re not close by
• Home care for those that can’t get to the office
• Lower cost to the patient
• Extra support for disease management
• Increased communication with providers

Telehealth has really revolutionized health care over the last few years. If you need acute or chronic care, Dr. Tavassoli has the resources to provide you with the best treatments through her telehealth portal.
