Mount Sinai Doctors-Westchester offers telemedicine/video visits to provide the best, most convenient patient experience. We recognize during this heightened alert about COVID-19 that this convenient service is extremely helpful. Used for both new and existing patients, these appointments may be made for visits with most physicians in the practice. We appreciate your understanding that some conditions require a physical examination and/or diagnostic testing. However, we are encouraging telemedicine visits to start the conversation about patients’ symptoms and determine the next steps, which can include prescribing medications, if needed.

If you would like to request a telemedicine visit, please call the practice and speak to one of our staff members who can assist you in scheduling an appointment.
