While over the phone communication is the most common, using a messaging service can be a great alternative for people! Especially when it is a non urgent matter.
In addition to chat messaging, video calls is a proven alternative to traditional face to face session. Telehealth is conducted with safe, secure video software that ensures patient privacy, while making it easy and convenient for the client.
