Video Health Appointments

The health and safety of our patients and the community is important to us. To ensure you can continue to receive medical care during this national emergency, we have launched telehealth services. This service lets you connect to our clinic using secure video chat allowing you to get needed answers to your health questions from the comfort of your home.

If you need to see your primary care provider, Orthopedic or Urology provider, we are offering virtual visits for your routine care. We are also offering video visits for diabetic management as well. Your health care provider will ask you questions and work with you to develop a plan of care, providing the same quality of care you would get in a face-to-face visit.

Our clinic providers agree there is no better replacement for face to face interaction with a patient, however at this time, it’s better to keep medical staff and patients safe when possible.

Video Health Clinic Hours:
Monday - Friday 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

How It Works
To schedule an appointment through our Video Health Clinic, call our clinic at (608) 723-2131. We will discuss your primary concern over the phone to determine if a video health appointment is right for you.

To set up a virtual visit you will need a smartphone, tablet, or laptop computer including a camera to allow video and audio capabilities. You will receive either text or email with a link to access your secure video connection with our acute care provider. If at any time during your visit you are asked to come into the clinic we will waive any telehealth visit fees.

Preparing for your visit

As you prepare for your virtual visit follow these instructions to ensure a successful visit.

Find a good location.

• A place that is quiet and private- close doors and windows to high-traffic areas.
• Remove clutter and have a blank wall behind you, if possible.
• Make sure the area is well-lit, avoid having light shine from behind you, this can create a glare on the video.

Test your technology

• Ensure have a good battery charge on your device (or plug it in).
• Use a Wi-Fi connection instead of cellular data (cell phone data), when possible.
• Set up for your phone, tablet, or laptop and test out the video, ensure you have the angle right so the provider can see you.
• Close out of all other apps and programs.

Make sure you are set up for quality audio.

• Mute, turn off, and remove any other noise makers. If you do not plan to use your smartphone for the call, put it on silent.
• Eliminate echos.
• Check for other outside noise, outside traffic, fan, air conditioner, etc.
• Make sure your microphone works and is free of any obstruction.
• Speak normally when on the call and in the direction of the camera.
