It's not about replacing your regular doctor. It's about the in-between moments, like a Tuesday-night sinus flare or a Sunday sprain. McAlester is in Pittsburg County, and on US-69 and the Indian Nation Turnpike, a short visit can still turn into an hour round-trip. Video visits run daily, 9:30 AM–9:30 PM.
- Bumps, sprains and strains: Many minor injuries, like a jammed finger, a mild ankle sprain or a sore back, can be reviewed on video. If an X-ray or a hands-on exam is a better idea, you'll be told. - Minor illness: Sinus pressure, cough and cold symptoms, flu-like symptoms, pink eye, a suspected urinary tract infection or a mild rash. These are the everyday problems same-day telemedicine handles best, and the physician can recommend next steps, including in-person care if it's needed. - Refills of medications you already take: If you're running low on a maintenance medication you already take, the physician can look at your history and, when appropriate, send a refill to your pharmacy. Refills aren't guaranteed.
Not urgent but still bugging you? Back pain, weight loss and men's health questions are $49 visits too, and in-person follow-up is recommended when it's appropriate.
