Medical practices always put the health and safety of their patients and staff first. Virtual consultations let you continue to provide service in a private and efficient way.

Four months ago, it seemed like something from a movie that you could only talk online with a medical practitioner, like a plastic surgeon or dentist, about a medical concern or surgical procedure. However, due to the spread of COVID-19, or the coronavirus, virtual consultations are now a reality. Many practices are taking this approach.

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, many medical practices are temporarily closing their offices. In response, telemedicine and virtual consultations are becoming more popular. Patients should understand that there are legitimate reasons why physicians are taking these measures.

Cancelling and rescheduling appointments and procedures is important so that everyone is safe. This includes staff and patients. Cancelling also helps the health care system get the resources it needs to help sick patients.

If your business is doing virtual consultations until you can open your doors again, we have some tips to help make sure they are professional, easy to navigate, and efficient.

Many people appreciate the option of getting advice or treatment from a medical practice through a virtual consultation. If your practice offers this service, it is important to make sure that the virtual sessions are as good as an in-person appointment. This is a great opportunity to build engagement and loyalty from your patients. 

Doktors App is helping its practice partners to set up their websites with the tools they need to communicate that they are offering virtual consultations. Patients can upload photos, request appointment times, and provide in-depth detail about what services they are interested in.
