PUEBLO â As we move further into the pandemic, the need for telehealth appointments has skyrocketed. But how are these appointments working?
Dr. Kathryn McCaffrey, an internal medicine physician at Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo, says telehealth appointments have been a great tool since the pandemic began, but they re not replacing in-person visits. It s been nice to be able to transition patients, who may have just needed a routine appointment to dicuss blood pressure medicines or something, to telehealth, said Dr. McCaffrey. It s also useful for those who have COVID, to be able to fill me in, and I can talk to our patients and help them get through the virus, without exposing people in the office.
