Below is information about how to schedule and start a virtual visit with your physician
Call the office and request a virtual visit.
If your medical need can be managed by a telehealth visit, the office will assist you in scheduling an appointment.
Telehealth appointments are confidential visits between a patient (regardless of location) and provider. Patients can participate in telehealth visits using any web-camera-enabled device such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a web camera installed.

Once the appointment is scheduled, the patient will receive an email from mclaren.org with a link to the “virtual waiting room” the day before the visit.
Login 15 minutes prior to your visit
On the day of the visit, the patient is contacted by a staff member from the office about 15 minutes before the scheduled appointment to assist the patient in entering the “Virtual Waiting Room”.
