Here’s What You Need To Know About Virtual Consultations
Though a patient might set up their video consultation through a web portal or by calling the doctor’s office, the consultation will likely be with the doctor. “I perform all of my consultations — virtual and in real life,” explains New York City-based board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Melissa Doft, MD. “I enjoy meeting with patients beforehand to understand their aesthetic goals.” With that said, some practices may have a nurse or patient coordinator kick-off or join the call, so feel free to ask about who you will be meeting with when you schedule the appointment.
