Make Your Next Visit By Video
The Grady team you already know and trust is now offering care from anywhere with Virtual Visits.
Grady offers virtual visits (also called telehealth visits) in most clinics. A virtual visit allows you and your family to have a secure, live-video appointment with your care team from the comfort of your home. The best part is you can save time and travel costs and receive the same quality care as an in-person visit.
Video visits (virtual visits) are perfect when you have an existing relationship with a Grady provider and have a condition that may not need in-person care.
If this sounds like you, you may get a call to schedule your next visit by video. The scheduling team will cover everything you need to get ready for your video visit. You need a smartphone, tablet, or computer and an active MyChart account. On the day of the visit, join the video appointment with your provider and connect face-to-face in real-time to discuss your care. You’ll even be able to see x-rays and lab results.
We look forward to caring for you in a way – and place – that works best for you.
