Tree Of Life Holistic Wellness Center Telehealth Appointments and what to expect.
The dispensary is open as an online store and is currently available to all patients and non-patients alike. You can buy your medications and supplements online and have them shipped to you.
We are only accepting new patients from other patient referrals at this time.
Telehealth (also called virtual care, or virtual health) is the use of digital information and communication technologies, such as computers and mobile devices, to gain access to health care services remotely.
These virtual visits with your provider can be a phone conversation, or a video visit using your smartphone, tablet or computer.
Once you have established the technology and connectivity, a telehealth visit will typically begin similarly to a face-to-face visit by asking questions about the patient's medical history. Depending on the equipment available at the patient's location, some vital signs can be gathered, such as weight, blood pressure, and temperature.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENT
Through a telehealth visit, a healthcare provider can do a medication check, evaluate how a treatment or therapy is working, and see how a patient is breathing or moving.
Telephone (audio only) appointments
A telephone appointment is just a phone conversation between you and your provider. Your provider’s office will let you know in advance, and remind you, that your appointment is over the telephone.
What do I need?
- A phone
Video appointments
During a video appointment, you can see your provider and they can see you. This is very helpful when your provider needs to see your symptoms, or check on things like injury recovery.
For these visits, we recommend checking in well before your scheduled appointment, so you will have time to complete the questionnaire and update any necessary information.

- Maintaining your privacy is important. Please choose a well-lit space with a door that that can close for your appointment. This will help prevent interruptions and keep your conversation with your provider confidential.
