Genesis HealthCare System can help you connect with care on your schedule. Kelli Gevas, M.D., Board-certified Obstetrician, Gynecologist and Obesity Medicine Physician at Genesis Women’s Health Specialists in Perry County, meets with patients in person and through video telemedicine visits, making care more convenient.
Dr. Gevas answers your common questions about telemedicine visits, women’s health and obesity medicine.
Who can schedule a telemedicine visit?
“No prior diagnosis is needed. Patients can schedule telemedicine visits with me for weight management, menopause and perimenopause concerns, hormonal concerns and reproductive counseling. Like in-person visits, you can share any changes in your health, ask questions and receive guidance to help create a care plan that fits your needs.”
How can I schedule telemedicine visits?
“You can call my office, 740-900-0066, and a team member will help you schedule.”
How should I prepare for a telemedicine visit?
“Before your visit, write down your current medications and questions. Find a comfortable, private space and make sure your smartphone or tablet has a good internet connection. When you’re ready, open MyChart and join the call.”
Fact or fiction?
Weight loss is a common symptom of menopause.
“Fiction. Many women gain weight or notice changes in where their bodies distribute weight because of hormone changes.”
Obesity can only be treated with medication.
“Fiction. Obesity medicine treats a long-term condition, focusing on healthy habits, behavior changes and medications when needed.”
