You can send photos and videos to your provider the same way you'd send a message — through the medical messages section of the MyChildren's Patient Portal. There is a 25 MB limit per message, so keep videos to 45 seconds or less.

Do not send a message in an emergency or for urgent concerns. If you think your child is having a medical emergency, please call 911 or your local emergency services number. If you have a question that is urgent but doesn’t require immediate medical attention, please call your doctor’s office or the Boston Children’s Hospital main line at 617-355-6000 to be directed to the appropriate department.

Your care team will respond within two business days.

Only you and members of your child’s care team will have access to your messages. This includes administrative staff, nurses, doctors, and other health care professionals who manage your child’s care.
