Video visits

What are Video Visits Used For?

Learn more about when a video visit with your pediatrician may be a good option for our child.

CHOP Primary Care, South Philadelphia, offers video visits as an alternative to some in-person visits when it is clinically safe and appropriate to do so. Telehealth video visits can be a good option for many medical appointments, including consultations for certain acute issues and symptoms, follow-up visits to see how a treatment or medication is working, urgent care visits and more. Your child’s provider will work with you to determine what visits can safely and effectively be done by video.
