Virtual Pediatric Care
Care by secure video when it is medically appropriate
A telemedicine visit is a scheduled consultation with a THH Pediatrics clinician by video. The team reviews your child’s concern first because some symptoms need an in-person examination or testing.
Call THH Pediatrics first. When medically appropriate, the phone-nurse team will schedule the visit and provide the current connection instructions.

What to Expect
How telemedicine works
Call the phone nurses
Call THH Pediatrics so the phone-nurse team can review the concern and determine whether telemedicine is appropriate.
Patient must be present
Your child needs to be present during the visit.
Physically in Maryland
The patient must be located in Maryland at the time of the appointment.
The right visit format
Your provider will decide whether video or an in-office exam is appropriate.
Choosing the Right Visit
When telemedicine may be appropriate
Call first. The office will help determine whether your child needs a virtual or in-person visit.
A virtual visit may help
Telemedicine can be useful when a concern can be evaluated safely through conversation and video, including selected follow-up questions. Your practice will confirm whether it is appropriate.
An office exam may be needed
Ear pain, concerns requiring a lung exam, and symptoms that may need laboratory testing cannot always be evaluated adequately by video. Your provider may recommend an in-person visit instead.
