Visit Types

Medical telehealth for Alabama families

Medical telehealth visits are for infants, children, teens, and parents physically located in Alabama at the time of the visit, because state law allows diagnosis and treatment only for patients in Alabama.

Outside Alabama? We offer nationwide parent guidance calls, which are education and coaching rather than medical care.

Why Telehealth

Why Alabama families choose telehealth

Often seen within the hour

Book a visit and be seen the same day, including evenings, rather than waiting days for the next opening.

A prescription before morning

Where a prescription is appropriate, it goes to your pharmacy from the visit, so it is ready when you are.

From wherever you are

Connect from the couch, the car, or sitting up in bed. No packing a sick child into the car at 9pm.

Easier with newborns and siblings

No packing everyone up, and no exposing a newborn to a waiting room full of other sick children.

Practical parent education

Walk away knowing what to watch for, what to do next, and when to seek more care.

Easy follow-ups

Check in on your child's recovery and progress from right where you already are.

    Receive guidance, education, treatment recommendations, prescriptions when appropriate, or a referral for in-person care.

Important

What telehealth cannot safely diagnose or treat

Telehealth has limitations and is not a replacement for emergency medical care or in-person evaluation when medically necessary. Some conditions require an in-person examination for safe medical care. If you book an appointment and the provider determines you need to be seen in person, the appointment is not refunded.

Telehealth may not be appropriate for:

  • Ear infections requiring ear examination
  • Strep throat requiring testing
  • Breathing difficulty or respiratory distress
  • Severe dehydration
  • Significant injuries or lacerations
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Infants requiring hands-on examination
  • Severe allergic reactions
  • Chest pain
  • Neurologic emergencies
  • Conditions requiring imaging, lab work, or procedures

If your child appears severely ill or lethargic, has difficulty breathing, or you believe they may be experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or seek emergency medical care immediately.

I am incredibly grateful to partner with a physician who values both excellent medical care and supporting parents in a realistic, compassionate way.

Leslie Brewer, CRNP

Pediatric nurse practitioner, urgent care provider, and mom of five

Leslie is a board-certified nurse practitioner with over ten years in pediatrics, across acute pediatric care, pediatric primary care, and family urgent care. Much of that time has been spent doing exactly what a telehealth visit does: working out what is going on from a description, a look, and a few good questions.

She is also a mother of five, which is its own kind of qualification when a child spikes a fever at nine at night. She knows the version of this where you are the parent, not the clinician, and you are not sure whether it is a wait-until-morning problem or a go-now one.

That combination is what she built On Call Peds Care around. Hospitals and pediatricians provide essential medical care, but a great deal of parenting happens in the hours between appointments, at home, in real time. Her aim on a visit is that you finish it knowing what is happening, what to do next, and what would make you call again.

She also writes and teaches as @ask_the_np_mom, where accessible newborn and pediatric education meets the reality of raising five children.
