You will still be able to discuss concerns live with your doctor, get prescriptions and ask questions like you would in a regular medical visit.<em>While all visits will start as virtual appointments, some issues will still require an in-person evaluation. Because of this, after your initial telemedicine visit, you may be asked to come into clinic at a time that is convenient for you.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I schedule my virtual appointment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Call us at 651-641-6134 to schedule your virtual appointment<em>(NOTE: Some existing appointments will be transitioned to virtual appointments and you may be contacted regarding this.)<\/em>Prior to your visit, you will be sent an invite via email for your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to expect at my virtual appointment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Telemedicine has been shown to be an effective way to provide care. Your doctor will listen to your symptoms in detail and ask further questions. Certain parts of a physical exam can be done via telemedicine however if a more detailed physical exam is necessary (i.e. looking in the ear) after an initial course of treatment, you may be asked to come into clinic\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I access my virtual appointment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure you have internet access and a device with a camera and audio (preferably a computer or tablet, but a phone will also work).At your scheduled appointment time, click the link you received via email from a device that has internet access, a camera and audio.Our visits are through the Zoom Telehealth platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div id=\"hcard-Midwest-Ear-Nose-Throat-Specialists\" class=\"vcard\" style=\"display:none;\">  \r\n<a class=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/mwent.net\/\"><\/a>\r\n  <a class=\"logo photo\" href=\"https:\/\/mwent.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/MW_ENT_logo.png\"><\/a> <span class=\"adr\">\r\n<span class=\"pricerange\">Varies<\/span>\r\n  <span class=\"org fn\">Midwest Ear, Nose &#038; Throat Specialists<\/span> | <span class=\"street-address\">3460 Promenade Ave<\/span> <span class=\"locality\">Eagan<\/span>, <span class=\"region\"> MN<\/span> <span class=\"postal-code\"> 55123 <\/span> | <\/span>\r\n  <span class=\"tel\"><span class=\"type\">   Office<\/span>:<span class=\"value\"> (651) 702-0750<\/span>\r\n  <\/span>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virtual Appointments Now Available!
