What to Expect

How Your Visit Flows

Here's what happens from the moment you book to the moment you're done — typically 20–30 minutes total.

1

Booking Confirmation (immediate)

After booking you'll receive a confirmation email with your appointment time, a secure visit link, and a brief intake form to complete. The intake form takes about 3–5 minutes and covers your reason for visiting, medications, and allergies.

2

Before the Visit (15 min prior)

Find a quiet, private space with good lighting. Click your Doxy.me waiting room link a few minutes early — the platform shows a camera and microphone preview before you enter the room. Have your medication list nearby.

3

The Visit (15–25 minutes)

I'll join you in the Doxy.me room, review your intake and health history, discuss your concerns in detail, and complete any relevant examination via video. I'll explain my findings and walk you through your care plan. There's always time for your questions — please ask them.

4

After the Visit (same day)

Any prescriptions are sent electronically to your pharmacy — usually ready within 1–2 hours. If labs or imaging were ordered, you'll receive electronic orders to take to your nearest LabCorp or Quest. You'll also receive a visit summary with your care plan and any follow-up instructions.

💡 Quick Tips for the Best Experience

  • Charge your device fully before the visit
  • Use WiFi over cellular when possible for a more stable connection
  • Close other apps and browser tabs to free up bandwidth
  • Use earbuds or headphones to improve audio clarity
  • Sit with light in front of you (facing a window) rather than behind you
  • Wear comfortable clothing you can adjust if showing a rash or injury
  • Write down your questions in advance — it's easy to forget during the visit
  • Have a notepad handy to write down care instructions
