Very thankful to have the option to use the telehealth service. Although getting all the technology in order prior was not necessary intuitive and was not a streamlined process to participate in, my actual appointment was easy to "join" and I felt that I got the same high level of care and help as I do when I have been in the doctor office. Dr. Rivard was thorough, clearly explained my options, and left ample time to discuss my questions and concerns. 10 out of 10 would participate in a telehealth visit again in the future and would recommend to others, as I have many times in the past for in-person appointments. I do really wish I could have had the option to use my computer instead of cell phone for the the appointment.

I had previously heard great comments about Dr. Rivard, whom I had chosen as my provider, since my previous doctors had retired. Upon meeting her, I was so impressed that she had reviewed my chart and was able to share information that even I had forgotten. She was a joy to meet and she was very expressive in sharing each step of what she would be doing to care for me during the exam. She was able to share information to assist my understanding of necessary preventive procedures and concerns I had about weight loss and staying healthy well into my senior years.

I had been waiting for weeks for my appointment, and had some serious concerns, and I felt like a second class patient. I felt like a nuisance being there. When I called to schedule, I noted that I was having an issue that I was concerned about as my primary reason for scheduling, and wanted to also go ahead and do my annual. I also requested ahead of time that the nurses talk to the doctor to tell her my issues and see if an ultrasound could go ahead and be scheduled at the same time. One was not scheduled, and I ended up being at the office for four hours between my 10-minute annual appointment and my 20-minute ultrasound, and the ensuing very long wait to see the doctor who was clearly in a big rush and very annoyed by me still being there. I realize emergencies arise; however, I had waited for a very long time for my appointment, and I was hoping to receive some diligent care regarding an issue that has been very concerning. I left with no real answers or advice, feeling like I was a nuisance, and way behind on my very busy workday, having spent most of my day at the office, only to be seen for maybe 30 minutes total. Very disappointing.
