Telemedicine

Telemedicine at Bream Medical

At Bream Medical, we have wholly embraced telemedicine as an effective and convenient way to treat patients.  Telemedicine is available to anyone who lives in North Carolina and can address many health needs.

While telemedicine is often an acceptable means of treating patients, it does have limitations, advantages, and disadvantages.  

Telemedicine - Pros vs. Cons

Advantages

  • Telemedicine visits are generally cheaper than in-person visits
  • Telemedicine minimizes exposure to communicable illness
  • Telemedicine is convenient. It can be done from your couch, from your workplace, on vacation, or basically anywhere there is a good Wi-Fi connection
  • Telemedicine facilitates increased communication between patients and providers
  • Telemedicine increases access to subspeciality clinics and access to care in rural areas

Disadvantages

  • Telemedicine cannot be performed for certain illnesses
  • Telemedicine cannot replace health screenings
  • Telemedicine does require a Wi-Fi connection
  • Telemedicine can be prone to technical glitches
  • Telemedicine seems to be more difficult for the technologically challenged

Telemedicine is ideal for management of sinus infections, urinary tract infections, upper respiratory infections, mental health concerns, reviewing radiology or test results, ADHD, rashes, medication refills, acute COVID, long COVID, or many other acute needs. 

How Do I Get Started?

At Bream Medical, the process is simple to schedule a telemedicine appointment:

  1. Call the office and schedule your appointment time
  2. Fill out the paperwork and send back to the office
  3. Prior to your appointment, the office staff will call to verify information
  4. The provider will join and perform your history, limited physical, assessment and plan and will send in your medications, referrals, labs, or screening needs electronically

 

Bream Medical looks forward to helping you with your telemedicine needs – saving you time and money!
