Whether you're at home, on the go, or traveling internationally, you can connect with a provider via phone or video chat—making healthcare more convenient and accessible, even when you’re away.

What is telehealth?

Telehealth, or telemedicine, allows you to consult with a pediatric provider remotely through phone or video chat. You can choose the communication method that works best for you to discuss your child’s health concerns. In many cases, telehealth enables our providers to assess symptoms, offer medical advice, and recommend next steps—all without an in-person visit.

What medical concerns can telehealth address?

Westside Pediatrics offers telehealth for a variety of pediatric needs, including:

• Sick visits – If your child has cold or flu symptoms, minor infections, or other non-emergency concerns, a provider can evaluate their condition remotely and provide guidance on treatment, including whether an in-person visit or further care is necessary.
• Mental health care – If your child is experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or behavioral challenges, telehealth offers a private and convenient way to connect with a provider. We offer support, follow-ups, and guidance to help you navigate your child’s mental well-being.
• Chronic condition management – For children with ongoing conditions such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, or congenital heart disease, telehealth makes routine check-ins, medication adjustments, and lifestyle counseling easier and more convenient.
• Care while traveling – If your family is traveling abroad and your child develops an illness or health concern, telehealth provides quick and familiar access to a trusted pediatric provider. Whether you need medical advice, a prescription, or guidance on seeking care in another country, we’re here to help no matter where you are.

What can I expect from a telehealth appointment?

Telehealth visits function much like in-person appointments. For video calls, we recommend finding a quiet, private space with good lighting and a strong internet connection to ensure a smooth consultation. During your appointment, you can discuss symptoms, ask questions, and receive medical advice.

At Westside Pediatrics, we are committed to providing high-quality, accessible care for your child—whether you’re at home or traveling. Telehealth is just one of the ways we make healthcare more convenient for busy families. To learn more or schedule a telehealth visit, call our office or book an appointment online today.
