Patients and Families

"The telemedicine visit is just as good as seeing the health care provider in person. I live 100 miles from my health provider. This saves me time, travel and expenses."


"I could not have asked for better service. Everything was explained to me and I felt very comfortable."


"It was a great comfort to me. It was very helpful and it gave me and my family great peace of mind that I was being looked after."

* 2009 OTN Patient Survey
