Telemedicine Consultations in Beverly Hills
Our Concierge Approach to Telemedicine Consultations
Telemedicine makes it possible to maintain a physician relationship when an in-person visit is unnecessary or difficult to schedule. Our approach uses virtual visits as an extension of comprehensive primary and cardiovascular care, allowing us to address appropriate concerns while maintaining continuity with your overall healthcare plan.
Dr. Omeed Warej brings expertise in both internal medicine and cardiovascular disease to each consultation. His training includes:
We use telemedicine when a virtual evaluation can provide meaningful clinical value. Depending on your needs, a visit may involve discussing new symptoms, reviewing medications or laboratory results, managing an ongoing condition, addressing preventive health questions, or determining whether an in-person evaluation or additional testing is appropriate.
If you need a telemedicine doctor in Beverly Hills, our concierge model makes virtual care part of an established physician relationship rather than a disconnected one-time encounter.
When Should I Schedule a Telemedicine Consultation?
A virtual appointment may be appropriate when you need medical guidance but an in-person examination is not necessary. Telemedicine can be particularly useful if you:
- Have a new but non-emergency medical concern
- Need follow-up for an ongoing condition
- Have questions about medications or prescription refills
- Want to review laboratory or imaging results
- Need guidance after an urgent care or hospital visit
- Have questions about blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, or metabolic health
- Need preventive health or lifestyle guidance
- Are traveling and need medical consultation when appropriate
- Have difficulty coming to the office for a routine follow-up
- Want to determine whether an in-person visit or additional testing is necessary
Virtual care is not appropriate for every medical concern. Symptoms requiring a physical examination, diagnostic testing, emergency treatment, or other hands-on care may require an in-person appointment or immediate medical attention.

FAQs About Telemedicine Consultations
What can a telemedicine doctor treat virtually?
A telemedicine doctor in Beverly Hills can address many concerns that don't require a hands-on examination, including managing acute illnesses, answering medication questions, following up on chronic conditions, reviewing lab results, providing preventive care, and managing ongoing treatment. Dr. Warej determines whether virtual care is clinically appropriate for each concern.
Is telemedicine primary care the same as an in-person primary care visit?
Telemedicine primary care in Beverly Hills can address many of the same conversations as routine primary care, including medication management, chronic condition follow-up, preventive guidance, and review of test results. Some concerns still require an in-person examination, vital signs, diagnostic testing, or other hands-on evaluation.
Can I use telemedicine for a medication refill or consultation?
Yes, when clinically appropriate. A virtual visit may allow Dr. Warej to review your current medications, treatment response, potential side effects, and relevant medical information before determining whether a refill or medication change is appropriate.
Is concierge telemedicine available between office visits?
Virtual care can be an important part of an ongoing concierge physician relationship. Depending on your membership, our concierge telemedicine in Beverly Hills may offer an additional way to communicate with Dr. Warej and address appropriate medical concerns without requiring every interaction to occur in the office.
When should I choose an in-person appointment instead of telemedicine?
An in-person visit may be necessary when your concern requires a physical examination, vital-sign assessment, diagnostic testing, imaging, or another service that cannot be adequately performed virtually. Emergencies and potentially serious symptoms should be evaluated through appropriate urgent or emergency medical care rather than waiting for a telemedicine appointment.
