Family & General Medicine
The Family & General Medicine service offers confidential, remote consultations for a wide range of everyday health concerns and general medical conditions. Licensed healthcare professionals from Tibbi Telemed’s partner clinics will assess your symptoms, review your medical history, and provide personalized treatment plans and guidance.
This service covers common and minor acute conditions, chronic disease management, preventive care, and general health advice for patients of all ages — from children to seniors. Telemedicine makes it easier to access trusted family doctors for routine check-ups, prescriptions, referrals, and lifestyle recommendations without the need for unnecessary in-person visits.
However, please note that some cases may require additional in-person examinations, laboratory tests, or physical procedures. If needed, the healthcare professional will advise you on the appropriate next steps and refer you to a local facility.
