Online children's health care with a doctor you choose

We at HealthTap offer pediatric telemedicine appointments with experienced and knowledgeable family medicine providers.

Our doctors for kids offer care and medical advice suited for children's health-related issues, including primary care concerns like:

• Allergies
• Colds, coughs, flu
• Skin rashes, bug bites, cold sores
• Stomach issues (constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting)
• Bedtime issues or nightmares

However, our doctors at HealthTap are unable to manage infants under one year (infants should be seen in-person), manage or prescribe medications for ADHD, or treat conditions that need a hands-on exam, such as orthopedic injuries.

At HealthTap, we believe that when it comes to doctors for kids, the easiest option is the most flexible — children's healthcare often has to work around both the children's school schedules and the parent's work schedule. This need for flexibility makes telemedicine appointments an attractive option — even for new patients.

Children can still receive the best care possible in a way that works for everyone. Parents will appreciate the ability to access expert advice and care when they need it — mornings, evenings, weekends, and even holidays.

Children are far more prone to viral infections, like a cold or the flu, than adult patients due to children's less-developed immune systems and frequent contact with ill classmates. Unfortunately, it's not always an option for parents to take them to the doctor's office to be seen for same-day appointments.

One of the most frequently asked questions patients ask about HealthTap is whether or not their doctors for kids can diagnose and treat the symptoms of a cold or flu.

The answer is yes. For those unanticipated health care needs, our family medicine doctors are available to help manage symptoms like fever, throat pain, and other acute child needs without requiring the patient to leave their home. Our online urgent care video visits can accommodate even families needing early morning or late night visits.
