Is a Video Visit Right for Me?

The University of Pittsburgh Asthma Institute at UPMC offers video visits for both new and current patients.

Doctors use a range of techniques and tests to diagnose asthma, such as:

  • A physical exam.
  • Chest x-rays.
  • Pulmonary function testing.
  • Bloodwork.

These all require in-person care either before or after your video visit. Your doctor will let you know when you should complete these tests.

Sometimes, your doctor may order a test based on the results of a video visit. At other times, your doctor may ask you to complete testing before your online visit so you can discuss the results.
