Telemedicine Visits

Convenient, Compassionate Care—Right from Home

At Universal Pediatric Associates, we’re proud to offer secure telemedicine visits so your child can get quality medical care without having to leave home. Whether your little one has a sudden rash, a lingering cough, or you just need a quick follow-up, our pediatricians are here to help—virtually!

👩‍⚕️ What Is a Telemedicine Visit?

A telemedicine visit is a video appointment with one of our pediatric providers using your smartphone, tablet, or computer. You’ll see and speak with your child’s doctor just like you would in the office—only online.

🧸 Conditions We Can Evaluate via Telemedicine

We can address many common pediatric concerns virtually, such as:

  • Colds, coughs, and mild respiratory symptoms
  • Allergies and skin rashes
  • Pink eye and minor infections
  • Medication refills and follow-up visits
  • Behavioral or developmental concerns
  • Nutrition and sleep questions

Note: Some conditions may require an in-person exam. If that’s the case, we’ll guide you through the next steps.
