Virtual Care

Care from home — when it makes sense

Telehealth adds convenience to everyday parenting, allowing families to connect with Zarminali clinicians virtually for certain visit types. Virtual visits are subject to state licensure requirements. Your child must be physically located in a state where the treating clinician is licensed.

What can telehealth visits be used for?

Mild symptoms that don’t require an in-person exam

For certain mild symptoms, telehealth allows a provider to assess your child, talk through symptoms, and offer guidance on care at home or whether an in-person visit is needed. This can include things like minor rashes, cold symptoms, mild stomach issues, or sleep concerns. See the full list below.

Follow-ups and care questions

Telehealth is a great option for follow-up visits after an in-person appointment. Parents can check in with their Zarminali clinician about how their child is responding to treatment, ask questions about next steps, or clarify care instructions — all without needing to come into the office.

Medication or care plan check-ins

For children who are established patients with a Zarminali clinician, telehealth visits are helpful for discussing medications, treatment plans, or ongoing care. This may include medication questions, side effects, dosage clarification, or checking progress on an existing care plan — all while keeping care consistent and connected.

Behavioral or developmental conversations

Telehealth provides a comfortable space for parents to discuss behavioral, emotional, or developmental concerns. These visits with your established Zarminali clinician allow time for thoughtful conversation, questions, and guidance without the pressure of an in-office setting.

When is telehealth not the right fit?

Telehealth may not be appropriate for urgent concerns, severe symptoms, or situations that require a hands-on physical exam or testing such as annual check-ups or well-child exams. If that’s the case, your provider will help direct you to the right type of care — including an in-clinic visit if needed.

FAQs

Are there any needs where telehealth is not an option?

If you believe your child is experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. This includes respiratory distress, anaphylaxis, dehydration, and severe pain.

There are certain instances where telehealth is not an option, including well child visits and sports physicals as these require an in-person exam.

Generally, newborns and infants (especially those under 3 months of age) presenting with symptoms should be evaluated in person given the limited evaluation that can be done through video visits. If you have general concerns or questions, these can still be done via telehealth.

Additionally, the following are examples of symptoms that require an in-office visit due to the need for thorough physical exam and possibly further testing before a diagnosis and treatment plan (such as antibiotics) can be made:

Urinary symptoms or concern for UTI – requires urine testing
Concern for a middle ear infection – requires looking at your child’s eardrums
Concern for strep throat –needs strep testing and a throat exam
Concern for fracture/sprain – necessitates examining the injury in-person and possibly x-ray imaging
Chronic cough, asthma symptoms – requires listening to your child's lungs
Suspected concussion or head injury – needs an in-person neurological exam
Complaints related to the genital area – given location of symptoms, necessitates in-person exam
