Telehealth Doctor in
Fresno — Video Visits With Your Own Physician
Your doctor visit should not require a drive, a wait, or a day off work.
Modern Medicine Group offers secure video visits with our board-certified internists — Dr. Kaur and Dr. Virk — right from your phone, tablet, or computer. Telehealth at MMG is not a random on-call physician who does not know your history. It is your doctor, your chart, and continuity of care — from wherever you are.
Medicare and most insurance plans cover telehealth visits.
Telehealth vs. In-person
What you can do from your couch. And what you can't.
Some things translate perfectly to video. Some things just don't. Here's our honest map of which is which — so you don't book a telehealth visit for something we'll end up having to do in person.

What Telehealth Visits Are Good For
A telehealth visit with your MMG physician is a great option for:
-
Medication refills and management — reviewing your prescriptions, adjusting doses, addressing side effects, renewing controlled substances (with appropriate clinical review)
-
Follow-up visits — checking in after a prior in-office visit, lab results review, post-hospital follow-up
-
Mental health management — ongoing management of depression, anxiety, and related conditions; medication review and counseling check-ins
-
Chronic disease check-ins blood pressure review, diabetes management updates, COPD or asthma check-ins (when an in-person exam is not required)
-
Mild to moderate common infections — sore throat, sinus pressure, cold symptoms, suspected UTI (if you can provide a home test or prior results)
-
Prescription questions — drug interactions, formulary changes, new medication questions
-
Lab result review — reviewing bloodwork, explaining what your numbers mean, discussing next steps
-
Pre-visit intake — a telehealth visit to establish care before your first in-person appointment
-
Sick visits for established patients — minor illness evaluation when your symptoms do not require an in-person exam

What Needs an In-Person Visit
Some things cannot be done safely or accurately over a video screen. Please come to our office in person for:
-
Annual physicals and wellness exams — a full physical requires hands-on assessment
-
Procedures — injections, wound care, EKG, spirometry, and other in-office procedures
-
Vaccines and immunizations — must be administered in-person
-
On-site lab draws — blood work requires in-person collection
-
New concerning symptoms requiring physical exam — chest pain evaluation, abdominal pain, new neurological symptoms, signs of serious infection
-
First visit with a new patient (in most cases) — we strongly prefer to meet you in person before moving to telehealth-only care
-
Any situation where the doctor needs to physically examine you
If you are unsure whether your issue can be handled by telehealth, call us at (559) 369-7787. Our
team will help you decide.

FAQ — Telehealth at MMG
The questions we get,
answered.
Yes, in most cases. Our physicians can prescribe medications — including antibiotics, blood pressure medications, and diabetes medications — during telehealth visits when clinically appropriate. Controlled substances (certain pain medications, stimulants, etc.) require an in-person visit per California and federal law in most circumstances.
In most cases, we prefer that new patients complete an in-person visit first so your physician can properly establish your care. However, for certain situations, a telehealth intake visit may be possible. Call (559) 369-7787 and we will let you know what makes sense for your situation.
Yes. Medicare covers telehealth visits for established
patients. Medicare Advantage plans also generally cover telehealth. The coverage details can
vary by plan, so call (559) 369-7787 or check your plan's benefits to confirm your specific
coverage and any cost-sharing.Yes. We use a HIPAA-compliant video platform
designed specifically for healthcare. Your visit is encrypted and private. No one else can access or
record your session.If your video connection drops, your physician or
our staff will attempt to reach you by phone to continue the visit. Call (559) 369-7787 if you have
any issues connecting.Yes. Telehealth is particularly well-suited for mental health management within the scope of primary care — including management of depression and anxiety, medication check-ins, and discussion of behavioral health referrals. If you
need specialty mental health care (e.g., therapy with a licensed therapist or psychiatry), we can coordinate a referral.
