Telemedicine at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals
You may be offered a telehealth (virtual) appointment. Our team works with you to determine
which type of visit is best. Sometimes a video visit is optimal because the surgeon can gather all
the needed information by video to recommend next steps. This can save time off work,
traveling long distances and associated costs. See our publication looking at how families feel
about this. Other times an in-person visit is necessary. Please understand that the visit type is
determined with the best interest of your child and family in mind. Learn more.
