Oral and maxillofacial post-op virtual visit

If you’ve recently had oral and maxillofacial surgery, your doctor may choose to complete follow-up appointments via mobile video through MyChart by myPennMedicine.

This service connects you directly to your participating care team via a networked device such as a laptop, tablet, or phone from the convenience of your home or work, or wherever you may be.

Your health care provider will determine if a virtual visit is right for you and provide you with the information and instructions to set up the appointment.

A virtual visit with your Penn provider may include:

• General follow-up
• Pain assessment and management
• Symptom review
• Healing process review
• Wound incision care
• Medication management
• Next steps
