About
Dr. Gillespie’s background in both family medicine and urgent care can be helpful when symptoms feel time-sensitive, unclear, or disruptive to daily life. She aims to understand the full context, not just a single complaint. That means reviewing what you have tried, what is changing, and what you are most worried about.
Her approach is collaborative. She works to make the next steps clear, including what can be handled virtually and what may require in-person evaluation. On Medispress, telehealth visits are offered with a simple flat-fee structure.

What to Expect in a Telehealth Visit
A virtual visit is designed to be practical and focused. You will typically start by sharing what brought you in and what you want help with today. Dr. Gillespie may ask about timing, triggers, relevant medical history, and any treatments you have already tried. If you have photos (for example, of a skin concern), you can ask how to share them during the visit.
You can also expect clear communication. She will summarize what she is hearing, ask clarifying questions, and then discuss options. Those options may include self-care steps, monitoring, follow-up planning, or guidance on when in-person evaluation is the safer choice.
- Review of your main concern and health history
- Discussion of what can be assessed virtually today
- Shared plan for next steps, follow-up, or referrals
To understand the basic flow, see the Telehealth Appointment service page. Visits are completed by video in a secure, HIPAA-compliant app.
How to Prepare
A little preparation can make your time with the clinician more efficient. The goal is to reduce friction, so you can focus on what matters most. If you are unsure what to bring up, it can help to write down your top two or three concerns before you log in.
- Find a quiet, well-lit space and test your camera and audio
- List symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse
- Have your medication list ready, including doses if you know them
- Gather recent measurements you have (temperature, blood pressure, weight), if available
- Prepare any photos that may help, such as skin changes over time
- Write down questions you want answered before the visit ends
