If you feel like you’re always too busy to go see your doctor for your annual physical or when you’re sick, Northeast Georgia Physicians Group (NGPG) has launched a new service that may be perfect for you. Virtual Primary Care (VPC) connects you with the same board-certified physician for all of your needs, all online and covered by insurance.
“Virtual Primary Care is perfect for people who are generally healthy and only see their primary care doctor once or twice a year,” said Antonio Rios, MD, president of NGPG. “You will see the same doctor each time – so you build a relationship with someone who knows you, your health history and your goals – but you get to skip the drive and the waiting room.”
Leading the way for NGPG Virtual Primary Care is Asma Siddiqi, MD, a family medicine physician with nearly two decades of experience.
“I’m excited to offer this service and provide a new option for care to patients locally and even across the state,” Dr. Siddiqi said. “I have young kids and a busy household, so I understand how it’s hard to find the time to break away to drive to the doctor for routine care – and now you don’t have to.”
