Telehealth services offered in Encino, CA

What is telehealth?

Telehealth allows you to meet with a health care provider by video or phone instead of coming into the office. It gives you access to care from home, work, or any other private location.

The Shiraz Medical Group team uses telehealth for many primary care needs. Your provider can ask questions, review your symptoms, discuss medications, explain test results, and recommend treatment during a virtual visit.

Telehealth doesn’t replace every in-person visit, but it’s a helpful option when you need timely guidance and don’t require a physical exam.

What conditions can telehealth treat?

Telehealth works well for many common medical concerns and follow-up visits. It also helps patients with chronic conditions stay connected with their primary care team.

A telehealth visit might help with:

• Cold, allergy, or flu symptoms
• Medication refills
• Lab result reviews
• Diabetes or blood pressure follow-up
• Skin concerns that show clearly on video
• Mental health check-ins
• Chronic disease management

The team will let you know if your symptoms require an in-office exam, lab testing, imaging, or urgent care. This helps you avoid delays when hands-on care matters.

What happens during a telehealth visit?

During a telehealth visit, your provider reviews your symptoms, health history, current medications, and concerns. They might ask how long symptoms have lasted, what makes them better or worse, and whether you’ve noticed warning signs.

The team may also review home readings, like blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, temperature, or oxygen levels. These details help guide safe decisions.

After the visit, Shiraz Medical Group may send prescriptions, order labs, recommend an office visit, or schedule follow-up care.

What are the benefits of telehealth?

Telehealth saves time and makes care easier to access. It’s especially helpful if you have a busy schedule, trouble traveling, mild symptoms, or a chronic condition that needs regular follow-up.

Telehealth also helps patients ask questions sooner, rather than putting off care. Fast medical guidance often prevents symptoms from worsening and helps you stay on track with treatment.

How do I prepare for a telehealth visit?

Before your visit, choose a quiet, private space with a stable internet or phone connection. Keep your medications nearby, along with any recent home readings or questions you want to ask.
