Michele Vallee, APRN has over a decade of experience in hospital, school and community settings caring for patients. After listening to thousands of patients’ concerns, the growing need for additional access to health care became increasingly clear. More patients were spending many hours in the emergency room to receive basic health care. ER visits were not only costly and time consuming but often described as impersonal.
Realizing that patients were frustrated with the lack of health care options available Michele Vallee was motivated to make a difference and started Advance Telemedicine.
“We understand that health concerns can arise at a moment’s notice. Especially on nights and weekends, making an appointment to see a primary care provider may be difficult and an emergency room visit may not be necessary. That is why we provide flexible hours for patients while providing the same quality of care at an affordable price,” says Michele Vallee, APRN.
“I met with Michelle Vallee who was great. Advanced Telemedicine provided me with a smooth, efficient and a totally totally professional service. Indeed, I will continue to use their services.”
“Dr Saleh is very personable and informative. He explains any concerns and gives no judgement. I was at ease during my first visit.
Honorable mention:
The office smells divine and the ambiance is calming!”
