With our virtual appointment option, our patients now have the ability to consult with their provider through a secure video call at home. At Women’s Health of Central Virginia, we are proud to offer this convenient alternative to in-office visits by bringing our expert care to you. Whether you need a prescription refill, or a post-op, postpartum or follow-up appointment, virtual visits are a great way to meet with your provider from the comfort of your own space. If your provider decides you need an exam after your virtual appointment, we will gladly schedule for you an in-office visit as soon as possible.
