Puyallup Surgical Consultants Offers Telemedicine Option for Care
Virtual visits are now available with all of our Puyallup surgeons.
Your health and safety are our highest priority. As surgical care providers we understand that access to care is essential. To navigate the Covid-19 situation safely and provide you with great healthcare we have established telemedicine portals for virtual medical visits, IM Your Doc and Doxy.me
