What Is Online Consultation?

What is Online Consultation?

We know that coming in for an office visit is not always convenient and has a real cost to you as a patient. Co-payments, gas and parking, lost wages, child care and other costs of office visits add up and we are sensitive to these costs and value your time. While most appointments require you and me to be in the same room, there are many instances where I can provide you with as much, or more, individualized information without a face-to-face meeting. Some specific examples include advice on changes in your particular medical situation, gathering information on options for treatment, and interpretation of abnormal test results with suggestions for further evaluation or therapy. Our Online Consultation service and modest associated fee are designed not only for your convenience, but also to save you money when your questions, that previously required an office visit, can be adequately answered online. Online Consultations will not be the ideal service for all patients, but it will serve the needs of many and we are happy to offer this new service and convenience to our established patients.
