Telemedicine Visits via Zoom

If you are interested in scheduling a telemedicine visit, call our office. We will add you to the schedule and provide you with instructions. If you would like to convert your future scheduled visit to a telemedicine visit, again, call the office. Depending on your needs, we may still need to have you come to the office. Your provider and you can together decide what is best for your situation.

When you have a telemedicine visit scheduled with a provider in our office, and you have an active MyChart account, you will launch Zoom directly from the MyChart website or mobile app.

If you do not have MyChart, you will launch Zoom from the email that will be sent to you with the Zoom meeting link contained within the message. When you select the “Join Video Visit” button, you will automatically be checked-in for your visit.

To prevent any issues initiating the Zoom telemedicine visit, it is best to download and install Zoom on your device well before your visit time.

Again, call the office if you would like to schedule a telemedicine visit.

Dr. Yoon's Jumpstart Program Success!

Dr. Yoon’s first offering of the 15 Day Whole-Food Plant-Based Jumpstart Program ran from March 14-March 28th, 2020. This program was designed by the Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute to rapidly lower your total cholesterol, lower fasting blood sugar and produce weight loss in a very short period of time. The skills taught during this short 15-day period are meant to be life-changing and provide people with tools necessary to make better food choices.

Six patients completed this program with incredible results! These participants were able to achieve up to a 33% reduction in total cholesterol. Everyone achieved weight loss ranging from 3lbs to 16lbs in just 2 weeks! Fasting blood sugars also improved as did waist circumference!

This program was originally designed as three consecutive Saturday group meetings with an optional Sunday cooking demonstration. With this 15-day session we were able to complete the first Saturday and the Sunday cooking demonstration. Due to the enactment of New York on Pause, the other two Saturday sessions were carried out using the online Zoom Meeting platform.

Dr. Yoon encourages you to visit the Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute website (RochesterLifestyleMedicine.com) for details on their Jumpstart Program. Dr. Yoon is also happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this program. Please contact Dr. Yoon’s office at 424-7032.
