HUNTINGTON â With the novel coronavirus forcing health care facilities to limit or prohibit in-person examinations, telehealth has changed how physicians help their patients.
Telehealth options have grown since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and while it may not be the same as talking with people in person, doctors have said the new method does have some benefits.
âOne of the benefits Iâm always quick to point out is that it enables patients to receive care no matter where they are located,â said Dr. Ricky Singh. âThis makes receiving quality care from a credentialed medical professional convenient for those who donât have transportation or are otherwise unable to get care in person.â
