Barry University Podiatric Foot and Ankle Clinics Open for Telehealth Visits Today
(MIAMI, FL) As the COVID-19 pandemic requires most Americans to stay at home in the interest of public health, Barry University physicians are doing their part to make sure patients have safe and convenient access to important podiatric care. Doctors from the Jackson North Medical Center, Mount Sinai and the Mercy Outpatient Facility will begin offering virtual telehealth visits with patients on Monday, April 6.
Recognizing that staying at home could result in patients being left with untreated injuries or potentially damaging disease complications, Barry’s physicians completed a swift transition to telemedicine in order to optimize patient outcomes. Through telemedicine, these doctors can provide uninterrupted care for diabetic patients, those dealing with painful chronic sports injuries, nail and skin conditions, and more.
“As medical providers we understand that it is critical we practice social distancing and temporarily pause seeing non-emergent patients face-to-face; however, our Telehealth platform will allow us to continue patient care which is also critical to support our patients and our overburdened healthcare systems. We are committed to our community and helping our patients maintain their overall health,” said Dr. Jacqueline Brill.
Through telemedicine, the Barry University board certified podiatrists can assess symptoms, identify urgent conditions, prescribe medication, and provide activity and treatment options. The doctors will see existing patients and are available to provide care to new patients as well.
Patients can make appointments by calling their preferred clinic for an appointment, and logging into BUfootandankle.doxy.me when it’s time for their visit. Insurance copays and deductibles apply, and the practice offers self-pay rates.
