About
Internal Medicine often involves connecting the dots across symptoms, history, and medications. Dr. Deidrick’s background in hospital medicine supports that “big picture” approach, especially when care needs to be coordinated across different settings. If you are transitioning between in-person care and virtual care, that perspective can help keep plans organized and easier to follow.
In telehealth visits, Dr. Deidrick aims to make space for questions and to clarify what happens next. That may include discussing likely causes, reviewing current medications, and outlining reasonable options for follow-up. She also keeps long-term wellness in mind, balancing immediate concerns with prevention and sustainable habits.
If you are unsure whether a concern fits a video visit, you can use the visit time to describe your symptoms and goals. Dr. Deidrick can then help you understand what can be addressed virtually and what may require in-person evaluation.

Care Areas
As an Internal Medicine physician, Dr. Deidrick evaluates and manages a broad range of adult health concerns. This includes both new symptoms and longer-term conditions, with attention to prevention when it fits your situation.
Topics that may be discussed during a visit include:
- New or changing symptoms and how they fit your health history.
- Ongoing condition check-ins, including monitoring and risk reduction.
- Medication review, side effects, and simplifying a regimen when possible.
- Preventive care planning and prioritizing next steps over time.
- Care coordination questions after a hospital stay or recent care changes.
For patients who take ongoing medications, prescription refill visits can be a good time to confirm the current plan, review how the medication is working, and discuss any changes since your last check-in. Refills are provided when clinically appropriate.
What to Expect in a Telehealth Visit
A telehealth visit with Dr. Deidrick is designed to feel organized and conversational. You can expect a structured review of your concerns, followed by time for questions. Many visits start with what brought you in, how long it has been going on, and what you have already tried. You may also be asked about past conditions, surgeries, allergies, and family history, depending on the reason for the visit.
Medication review is often a key part of the visit. Dr. Deidrick may confirm doses, how you take each medication, and any side effects or interactions you are worried about. If you have home readings (such as blood pressure, temperature, or glucose), those can help shape next steps. Appointments happen by video in Medispress’s HIPAA-compliant app.
By the end of the visit, you should leave with a clear summary of what was discussed and what the next step is meant to be. That might be self-care guidance, follow-up planning, or recommendations to seek in-person evaluation when a hands-on exam or testing is needed. If a medication is part of the plan, the discussion should include how to use it and what changes would warrant re-checking your symptoms.
Prescription decisions depend on clinical details and safety considerations, so outcomes can vary. If clinically appropriate, providers may coordinate prescription options through partner pharmacies.
How to Prepare
A few minutes of preparation can make your visit more productive and easier to document. If you are meeting for a new concern, it helps to think about what you most want answered during the visit. If you are booking for ongoing care, preparation helps ensure your medication list and recent changes are accurate.
- Choose a quiet, well-lit space so your clinician can see you clearly.
- Check your internet connection and audio before the visit begins.
- Write down your main symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse.
- Have your current medications available, including over-the-counter products and supplements.
- If you track home readings, keep recent numbers nearby and note the dates.
- If relevant, prepare a short timeline of recent care, including any hospital stay or medication changes.
If you are requesting a refill, it also helps to know the medication name, dose, and how you currently take it. Bringing up side effects, missed doses, or new symptoms can help keep the plan safe and aligned with your goals.
