Telemedicine
At Palm Primary Care, we provide established patients with online, real-time video visits with providers from all our multiple locations.
To schedule your telemedicine appointment, contact your provider's clinic directly or use our online patient portal to request one of these convenient virtual visits.

Telemedicine can be used to address:
- New physical, mental, or general health concerns.
- Follow-up care.
- Recurring physical, mental, or general health other issues.
