1

Share your health story

Answer a few questions about your goals and concerns. And, we'll gather your full health history from past providers.

2

Meet your clinician

Pick a time that works for you to speak with a licensed clinician. They'll review your health story beforehand, so your visit can be used to listen and dig deeper.

3

Get your care plan

Leave with clear next steps and a personalized care plan. If you need medication, labs, or to see a specialist, your clinician will take care of the details for you.

4

Own your health

Track your progress, schedule follow-ups, and adjust care as your needs evolve. Your care team and General AI is only a few taps away.

Virtual visit with clinician

Ongoing support, always available.

You’ll be supported by experienced clinicians who care for a wide range of health needs, from everyday concerns to more complex conditions.

Our clinicians track your progress over time and adjust your care as needed. If medication is prescribed, we’ll manage dosing and monitor for side effects. If lab testing is recommended, we review results and refine your plan accordingly. You’re never left to navigate care on your own.

All your care in one place. That’s the General Medicine difference.

We help you understand your options, connect you to the right clinicians, manage prescriptions, coordinate any needed evaluations, and keep an eye on your overall health along the way. It’s comprehensive care that looks at the full picture — your goals, your history, your lifestyle — and makes it simple to move forward with confidence.

You've had a recent flare-up or hospitalization related to your lungs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is COPD and how is it diagnosed?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung condition — encompassing emphysema and chronic bronchitis — causing airflow limitation and breathlessness. Diagnosis requires spirometry confirming a post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio below 0.70. Symptoms alone are insufficient for diagnosis.

Can COPD be reversed?

COPD is not reversible — lost lung function does not fully recover. However, disease progression can be significantly slowed with smoking cessation, which is the single most effective intervention at any stage. Medications improve symptoms and exercise tolerance and reduce exacerbation frequency and hospitalization risk.

What is the most important thing I can do for my COPD?

Stop smoking — if still smoking. Smoking cessation is the only intervention proven to slow COPD progression. Annual influenza vaccination, pneumococcal vaccination, and pulmonary rehabilitation are other high-priority evidence-based interventions alongside appropriate inhaler therapy.

What is the difference between a rescue inhaler and a maintenance inhaler?

Rescue inhalers (short-acting bronchodilators like albuterol) provide rapid relief during acute breathlessness. Maintenance inhalers (long-acting bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids) are taken daily to reduce symptoms, improve lung function, and prevent exacerbations — they don't provide immediate symptom relief.

What side effects are associated with COPD treatments?

Short-acting bronchodilators may cause tremor and palpitations. Long-acting beta-agonists carry similar concerns at higher doses. Inhaled corticosteroids increase risk of oral thrush and pneumonia — rinsing the mouth after use is important. Roflumilast (oral PDE4 inhibitor) may cause GI upset and weight loss.
