Telemedicine
We offer Telemedicine visits for Medication Rechecks. 

COVID-19 Rapid Testing: 
Your child can get an antigen test done via nose swab that will give results in 15 minutes. For the most accurate results, your child should be tested within 5 days of symptoms. For more information on this test, please see this document from the FDA: FACT SHEET FOR PATIENTS  To protect our patients and staff, if you believe your child needs a COVID-19 test, please schedule a vehicle visit. 

For a Telemedicine Visit with Gateway Pediatrics
We use a HIPAA compliant service called Doxy.me. Once you have an appointment, we will text you 5-10 minutes before your appointment time with a link to the Telemedicine Visit (or you can go to https://doxy.me/gatewaypeds). There is no app for you to download. Click on the link, agree to the terms and conditions, and then you’ll be placed in a waiting room until the provider is ready to “see” you. Please make sure you allow the program to access your camera and microphone.

**PLEASE BE ADVISED: All Telemedicine Visits and Vehicle/Curb-Side Visits are billable to you / your insurance just like an in-office visit. Copays will be automatically collected from your Credit Card on File.**

Non-Maryland Residing Patients: Unfortunately, due to current law we are unable to perform Telemedicine services if your child resides outside of Maryland. We will be happy to serve you in our office.
