What is telehealth?

Telehealth at Rise Carmel consists of virtual medical care that optimizes your health and well-being. Telehealth offers the ability to meet with Dr. Honegger anywhere, whether it’s your home, workplace, or hotel while traveling. It’s a convenient alternative to in-person appointments. She can see any patient virtually as long as they reside in California.

The Rise Carmel experts understand the importance of convenient, personalized care. The practice’s virtual hormone health consultations offer a convenient experience with expert guidance from the comfort of home, particularly if you live out of town but still reside in California. 

Telehealth consultations are ideal for individuals who are unable to travel to the Carmel office, offering remote care and compassionate support. Telehealth consultations are not a replacement for in-person visits. If you’re able to visit Dr. Honegger in person, she highly encourages you to come to her office for comprehensive, hands-on care.

You may visit with Dr. Honegger using a computer, phone, tablet, or another electronic device. She meets you where you are, providing the same superior care as in-office appointments.

What should I expect during telehealth sessions?

During telehealth visits, Dr. Honegger calls during your scheduled appointment time. She discusses the reason for your visit and reviews your medical history, medications, symptoms (mood swings, fatigue, low libido, hot flashes, etc.), lifestyle, and more. You can show her any visible symptoms virtually and discuss your health goals. 

Dr. Honegger may suggest on-site diagnostic testing, such as blood tests, an ultrasound, or other tests. She tailors a treatment plan (when necessary). Dr. Honegger evaluates your current hormone levels and explores testing options that help her better understand your unique needs.

She creates personalized treatments that address hormonal imbalances using medicinal and natural interventions.
