Tele-GI Services
AmplifyMD’s TeleGastroenterology (Tele-GI) services connect hospitals and clinics with board-certified gastroenterologists to provide timely, expert care for gastrointestinal conditions. Our services range from inpatient consults for acute conditions to outpatient services and chronic condition management. With AmplifyMD, health systems can provide high-quality, specialized TeleGastroenterology care when and where it is needed.
