PhysicianOne Urgent Care Launches Virtual Visits For MA Residents

MEDFORD, MA — PhysicianOne Urgent Care announced Tuesday it is offering Virtual Visits to Massachusetts residents. A Virtual Visit gives patients the option to schedule their visit from home and skip the center or waiting room, the company said.

"We recognize the need for increased access to the right care, at the right time, especially in the current healthcare landscape," Dr. Jeannie Kenkare, chief medical officer and co-founder of PhysicianOne Urgent Care, said in a statement. "Many telehealth options being offered right now are on-demand, meaning there can be substantial online wait times to meet with a provider. With our platform, patients can schedule a time ahead – often times within the hour – to be evaluated. Initial feedback from our patients who have taken advantage of the Virtual Visits has been fantastic."

To schedule a Virtual Visit, visit www.P1UC.com and click the "check in online" option. During a Virtual Visit, a PhysicianOne Urgent Care provider will virtually assess patient concerns and symptoms, answer questions and recommend the next steps a patient should take, while eliminating the risk of exposure amid the coronavirus crisis.

If an in-center visit is warranted following the Virtual Visit, either for testing or follow-up care, PhysicianOne Urgent Care has four locations in Massachusetts: Medford, Chestnut Hill, Waltham and Westwood.

PhysicianOne Urgent Care locations are open seven days a week, 365 days a year.
