For many health issues, you can get the care you need from the comfort and safety of your home or office when you take advantage of the Riverside Primary Care On Demand virtual clinic. Through your Riverside MyChart patient portal, it’s easy to connect one-on-one with a Riverside medical provider for a live, secure, real-time visit using your computer, tablet or mobile device.
Primary Care On Demand is only available to current Riverside Medical Group patients.
Access trusted Riverside care on your schedule
For patients who want virtual “walk-in” care with the next available Riverside primary care provider, an On Demand visit is the perfect choice. Appointments are not necessary, so simply join the queue! Or, if you’re not quite ready, you can schedule your On Demand visit for later, at a time that works for you.
Common reasons to use Primary Care On Demand
The Primary Care On Demand virtual clinic works well for the diagnosis and treatment of common health issues, such as the following:
• Illnesses: Colds, flu, sore throat, sinus infections, gastrointestinal ailments, allergies, urinary tract infections and more
• Minor injuries: Sprains, strains, minor cuts, bruises, eye injuries, sports injuries, minor burns and more
You should not use Primary Care On Demand for very serious or life-threatening conditions.
