Overview
Mark Yovichin, MD, is a family physician with more than 30 years of experience caring for patients across the lifespan. Over the years, he has practiced in several settings, including office-based care, urgent care, and hospital medicine. That range matters in telehealth, because it helps him think through both everyday concerns and situations that may need timely in-person evaluation.
His approach is grounded in putting the patient’s well-being first. After going through his own recent health challenges, he brings added empathy to the questions and worries that can come with new symptoms, medication changes, or ongoing conditions. Patients can expect a focused conversation, careful listening, and practical next steps that fit their situation.
Visits take place by video in a secure, HIPAA-compliant app.
About
In a telehealth setting, the most helpful visits start with feeling heard. Dr. Yovichin aims to create space for your full story, not just a short symptom list. He takes time to clarify what has changed, what you have already tried, and what you are most concerned about. He also focuses on advocacy, which can mean helping you sort through options, confirming you understand a plan, and documenting clear guidance you can reference later.
He is known for a thoughtful style and steady pacing. If a topic is complex, he will typically break it down into manageable steps and prioritize what to address first. If your concern is not a good fit for video-based care, he can help you decide what kind of in-person setting makes sense.

Education & Training
This profile shares limited public details about Dr. Yovichin’s formal education and training history. If you would like more context, it is reasonable to ask about his medical training, clinical interests, and how he approaches care for different age groups during your visit. You can also ask how he typically coordinates care when you already have an in-person primary care clinician.
If you are seeing a clinician for the first time, it can help to share what you value most in care. For example, you might want a direct plan, a slower pace, or more time for questions. Setting that expectation early helps the visit go smoothly.
Care Areas
Dr. Yovichin provides comprehensive family medicine services through telehealth for new and existing patients. Family medicine is broad by design, and telehealth can be a practical way to talk through common health concerns, medication questions, and ongoing health goals. Because he has worked across multiple care settings, he can also help you think through when home care is reasonable and when escalation is safer.
Care needs vary from person to person, and a video visit works best when the goal is evaluation, guidance, and a plan. Depending on what you are experiencing, this may include reviewing symptoms and timelines, discussing relevant history, and considering whether labs, imaging, or an in-person exam would add important information.

What to Expect in a Telehealth Visit
When appropriate, prescriptions can be coordinated through partner pharmacies.
A typical telehealth visit starts with your main concern and what you hope to accomplish. Dr. Yovichin will ask focused follow-up questions to understand onset, triggers, severity, and what makes symptoms better or worse. He may also review your past medical history, current medications, allergies, and recent care you have received elsewhere. Clear context helps avoid missed details and reduces back-and-forth later.
Because video visits have limits, the plan often includes specific “watch for” guidance. You can expect him to outline what changes would be reassuring, what would be concerning, and what should prompt urgent or emergency care. If a physical exam is needed for safety or accuracy, he may recommend an in-person evaluation and explain why.
If you are requesting an existing medication refill, it can help to share the medication name, dose, and how you take it. For more context on this service type, you can read about Prescription Refill visits. For general visit flow, see Telehealth Appointment.
How to Prepare
Preparation is mostly about reducing friction so you can focus on the conversation. Before your visit, write down your top two or three concerns. Add a short timeline of symptoms, plus anything that has helped or made things worse. If you have measurements at home, like temperature or blood pressure, note the numbers and when they were taken.
Have a current medication list ready, including over-the-counter items and supplements. If you have photos that show a change over time, keep them available on your phone so you can share them during the call if needed. It is also helpful to gather key details from recent care, such as the date of a prior urgent care visit or any recent lab results you can access.
Technical setup matters. Choose a quiet, well-lit space. Test your camera, microphone, and connection. If you are using a phone, prop it up so your hands are free. If you want extra guidance on logistics, you may find these helpful: Prepare For Your Telehealth Appointment and Tech Troubles Tips.
