What Type of Visit Do I Need?
To help meet patient needs, Southwest General Medical Group (SGMG) providers offer several safe and convenient appointment options—including telehealth (virtual) visits. Options include:
-
In-person Visits
An in-person office visit may be scheduled for any non-emergency care that requires in-person assessment, treatment or procedures. Both current and new patients are invited to schedule an in-person appointment in one of the following ways:
- Call the provider’s office directly
- Use your Southwest General HealtheLife account to send a message requesting an appointment. Someone from the office will then contact you about your appointment.
-
Scheduled Telehealth/Virtual Visits
If you do not need in-person care and prefer to visit with your provider from the convenience of home, you can schedule a telehealth (virtual) visit. Telehealth visits may be scheduled by current SGMG patients.

Important Appointment Reminders
- What to bring to your appointment - You should bring your insurance card and a photo ID with you to all appointments.
- Same day appointments – Some same-day appointments may be available with your provider. If you are unable to schedule a same-day appointment with your provider, consider using Southwest General’s On-Demand Care to see an SGMG provider online within minutes for many non-emergency conditions.
- Cancellations -To cancel or re-schedule an appointment, please be sure to call your provider’s office or send a message via your Southwest General HealtheLife account at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment. This will allow us use the time to accommodate other patients.
We look forward to continuing to provide high-quality, professional care to all patients—whether in person or through a virtual visit. If you have any questions about SGMG visit options, please call your provider’s office for more information.
