Book a telehealth visit.
Telehealth
As much as we like meeting you in person, we appreciate that a video call may be more convenient. Depending on your issue we may be able to address your needs over telehealth. In addition, we may refer you to a nearby lab or suggest that you order an at-home STI test kit. If necessary, we will call in a script at your local pharmacy. We accept most major insurance for telehealth services. If you’re uninsured or prefer not to use your insurance, telehealth visits appointments cost $40 per visit. There may be additional charges for lab testing.
