Now Offering Virtual Visits!
|
Does your child need medical care but you can't make it to our clinic? Good news! Woodcreek is now offering virtual care appointments for pediatric patients.
Virtual care is limited to the acute conditions to the right. In addition, we're now seeing our behavioral health patients via virtual care and conducting some medication checks this way, too. PLEASE NOTE that due to state medical licensing laws, we can only provide virtual care to patients who are physically located in Washington State! If your child is outside of Washington State, please go to a convenient local urgent care clinic. Give us a call at (253) 848-8797 if you'd like to book a virtual visit with your provider. Need to be seen after hours or on the weekend? No problem - we can see these conditions via the Mary Bridge virtual urgent care service. Click below to reserve a time now! |
Conditions we can treat in a virtual visit:
• Acne • Allergy/hay fever • Animal/insect bites • Constipation • Cough • COVID exposure or symptoms* • Diaper rash • Eye conditions (e.g., pinkeye) • Fever • Head lice • Ingrown toenails • Mouth sores • Rashes • Runny nose/cold symptoms • Sprains/strains • Strep throat* • Urinary issues (ages 4 and over only) • Vomiting/diarrhea *Virtual visits are supported with testing at one of our Mary Bridge Urgent Care locations. Flu/COVID and Strep tests can be ordered by your virtual provider and then you can drive to one of our Mary Bridge Urgent Care locations for swab collection in your car. The provider will explain the process during your virtual visit. |
Getting Ready for your Virtual Visit
You've booked a virtual appointment with your pediatrics provider, but we need you to do a couple of things to get ready for it: please take your child's temperature and check their weight, if possible. Also, having a flashlight available if your child is complaining of a sore throat is helpful, and a pen and paper can be handy for taking notes.
And, review the informed consent statement below - you'll be asked if you agree to it when you start your appointment.

What App Do I Need?
We use two video platforms to provide virtual care. For primary care and behavioral health visits, we use your MyChart connection to run the visit. We can do the visit even if you don't have a MyChart account, but the experience is better using the MyChart app. More information on how to sign up is available here.
We use Solv for our virtual urgent care visits. You can download the Solv app in the App Store or on Google Play. It also works for booking your urgent care appointments with us, completing your paperwork in advance, and more!
