I am happy to announce that you can now video visit with me online through Medeo, a secure video-conferencing technology that connects practitioners with clients for virtual care purposes. You can conduct a video visit with me using a computer (with webcam), tablet, or smartphone.
To get started, contact me to book an appointment (just like any other visit) and indicate that you would like to see me for a video visit online. Once I’ve determined that your visit is suitable for virtual care, I will arrange an appointment time with you and you will receive an email invitation which will guide you through the sign-up process.
