Call If You Need Us

If you need additional help, you can call Duke Health’s telehealth support staff at 919-684-1598 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday to Friday. We recommend calling two or three days before your visit. If you also call the day of your telehealth appointment, please call 30 minutes prior to the visit.

Guide for a Mobile Device

If you’re attending a telehealth appointment on a mobile device, you’ll need to download and install the My Duke Health app and the Zoom app before your video visit. If you already have the My Duke Health app installed on your device, you will need to update to the latest version to access the video visit function.
