The telemedicine services Virginia Pediatric Group offers ensure you can reach your child’s pediatrician from wherever you are, even if you are unable to travel to the office. You can use your smartphone, computer, or tablet to meet with your pediatrician during your scheduled time.

During your scheduled appointment time, you log in to your account and meet with your pediatrician via the easy-to-use Anytime Pediatrics telemedicine platform on your phone or computer. The provider can discuss your child’s specific needs and determine if they need an in-office visit or any diagnostic testing.
If your child needs a refill on a prescription, the providers can deliver it electronically to your pharmacy or mail it to your home.
When your child needs a behavioral or mental health evaluation, you can expect to schedule your initial visit in the office. However, they can continue to monitor your child’s progress with treatment through the telemedicine platform.
