You will be asked to provide a valid email address upon scheduling one of these appointments. When your provider is ready to connect with you for your telehealth visit, you will receive a link via email or text message.The easiest way to connect to this service is to click on the provided link from your cell phone. This allows your phone to act as both a video camera and a microphone, and this will allow our service provider the opportunity to discuss your visit with you via video chat.
You can also check in for your video visit by visiting https://doxy.me/digestivehealth. (Your computer must have video and microphone capabilities.) Allow your browser to use your webcam and microphone. Type in your name and click check in. You will then be placed in the virtual waiting room. Once your provider is ready to connect, the visit will begin. More information is available if you are unsure of how to use this telehealth feature.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time. Please contact our office at (334) 836-1212 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
