Virtual Healthcare: Preparing for Your Telehealth Appointment
As virtual care becomes increasingly integrated into everyday healthcare, preparing for a telehealth appointment is just as important as attending in person. At Family Practice of Conyers, we want to ensure your remote visits are seamless, productive, and empowering.
Why Preparation Matters
A well-prepared telehealth appointment helps:
- Maximize time with your provider
- Improve communication and diagnosis.
- Ensure essential health concerns are addressed.
Understand the basics of telehealth visits.
Steps to Prepare for Your Telehealth Visit

2. Choose a Quiet, Well-Lit Location
- Find a private space with minimal distractions.
- Ensure good lighting so your provider can see you.
3. Have Your Information Ready
- List current medications, symptoms, and vitals (e.g., weight, blood pressure).
- Keep your medical history and insurance information nearby.
- Prepare questions or concerns in advance.
4. Dress as You Would for an In-Person Visit
- Wear comfortable, modest clothing that allows your provider to observe visible symptoms if necessary.
5. Be Honest and Detailed
- Share all symptoms and concerns—even those that seem minor.
- Describe how long you've had symptoms and what improves or worsens them.
What to Expect During the Visit
- Your provider may conduct a visual exam, ask questions, and review health data.
- Follow-up actions include prescriptions, lab work, or scheduling a future check-in.
