NYOH Offering Telemedicine Appointments

Apr 20, 2020

New York Oncology Hematology is pleased to offer telemedicine appointments, allowing new and existing patients to consult with our team of doctors via secure virtual visits – from the comfort and safety of home. 

While telemedicine cannot fully replace the need for in-person care and treatment, it does provide flexibility for patients and their caregivers – especially during the COVID19 pandemic. Types of telemedicine appointments include: 

  • COVID-19: Patients who have COVID-19 symptoms or are in isolation or quarantine for COVID-19
  • Routine Follow-up: Patients coming in for a routine follow-up visit
  • Non-Emergent Symptoms: Patients with non-emergent symptoms during and after treatment that can be managed remotely
  • Side Effects: Patients with cancer treatment side effects
  • Test/Imaging Results: Patients returning for a follow-up visit to review scan or test results that do not require in-person action
  • Medication Refill: Patients in active treatment who need a prescription medication that can be refilled electronically

We encourage you to learn more or call your NYOH office to make a telemedicine appointment.
