Telemedicine may be used for follow-up care, medication discussions, certain minor symptoms, behavioral or developmental conversations, parent guidance, and some concerns that do not require an in-person exam.

Your child may need an in-person visit for breathing problems, dehydration, significant pain, ear pain, testing needs, injuries, newborn concerns, or symptoms that require a physical exam.

Sometimes. Some sick concerns can begin with telemedicine, but others require an in-person exam or testing. DVPA can help determine the right visit type.

Some conditions may be evaluated through telemedicine, but not all. If your provider needs to examine your child, check vitals, listen to breathing, or perform testing, an in-person visit may be recommended.

Telemedicine may be appropriate for some behavioral, developmental, school, medication, or follow-up conversations. The office can help determine whether a virtual or in-person visit is best.

Contact Delaware Valley Pediatric Associates to request an appointment. The team will help determine whether telemedicine is appropriate for your child’s concern.

Some newborn questions may be discussed virtually, but many newborn concerns require an in-person exam or weight check. DVPA can help determine the safest and most appropriate visit type.

No. Telemedicine is a helpful option for certain concerns, but it does not replace all in-person pediatric care. Some symptoms require a physical exam, testing, or hands-on evaluation.
