[Colorado, 6/30/2020] – Health is the issue of the day, and many medical and healthcare facilities have responded to the 2019 novel coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic by implementing physical and social distancing guidelines to curtail the spread of the virus. For patients who have health concerns – whether related to the coronavirus disease or not – treatment and consultation are still important in a shutdown situation.

For this purpose, the Peak ENT and Voice Center, a Colorado-based ENT (ears, nose, throat) clinic, offers Telemedicine appointments to meet their patients’ ENT needs safely and conveniently.

Nose and Throat Health Central to COVID-19 Prevention

On January 31, 2020, the U.S. declared the COVID-19 disease a public health emergency, and on March 11, the World Health Organization characterized it as a pandemic. Since then, the disease has infected more than a million people worldwide, with the U.S. having the most number of confirmed cases.

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are sore throat, fever and tiredness of body. In the more severe cases, patients experienced difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, and loss of taste. When patients have these symptoms or other ENT conditions, it’s critical to get checked by a medical professional. In this time of social distancing, a remote consultation will be helpful.

Providing ENT Services amid a Pandemic

Patients who want to schedule a telehealth appointment need to call the clinic first to pick a schedule. They must then download and fill out patient forms from the website. Finally, they can access the telehealth portal on their scheduled date and receive a consultation.

Through a scheduled video call, Peak ENT and Voice Center’s board-certified specialists provide advice and consultation for patients experiencing problems with their ear, nose, or throat. This service is fast, convenient, reliable, and safe.

While essential medical appointments are exempt from this practice, Peak ENT and Voice Center encourages patients to stay home as much as possible. Operating on a limited schedule, the clinic’s telemedicine appointments cater to people who urgently require these services.

As a result, cities and states have implemented different measures to “Flatten the Curve” or curb the continuous rise of cases in the country. One of these measures is physical or social distancing, done by maintaining a considerable physical distance between one person and another to decrease the risk of possibly transmitting the virus.
