Make an Appointment Online to See a St. Luke’s Doctor

Bethlehem, PA (1/27/2016) – Seeing a primary care doctor in the
St. Luke’s University Health Network has never been easier with the introduction of the network’s online “Make an Appointment” tool.

St. Luke’s Make an Appointment online scheduling service allows patients of more than 40 select Pennsylvania- and New Jersey-based primary care and five pediatric practices to log on from home or a mobile device – anytime of the day or night -- to schedule an appointment with a St. Luke’s provider. Evening, weekend and same-day appointments are available.

“This service helps making and keeping an appointment easier than ever before,” said Michael Abgott, MD, VP, Chief of Primary Care, St. Luke’s University Health Network. “With this online approach to making an appointment, patients can expect to be scheduled quickly and to be seen promptly. Patients may manage their appointments using any computer or mobile device and may register to receive text messages or email appointment reminders.”

With online appointments and electronic reminders, patients have been better able to optimize their visit with their doctors, said Dr. Abgott. And parents can easily schedule appointments with primary care pediatricians located in Allentown, Bath, Coopersburg, Bethlehem, Palmerton and Wind Gap.

The online service was launched in November 2015 as a pilot project and has earned accolades from patients and parents who have taken advantage of this service, said Dr. Abgott.
