What Is an Online Consultation?
An online consultation is a remote medical appointment conducted via video call or other communication platforms.
During the consultation, the specialist can:
- review symptoms and medical history;
- analyze test and examination results;
- provide a second medical opinion;
- adjust treatment plans;
- determine the need for additional investigations;
- create a follow-up plan.
Online consultations are particularly useful for patients living in other cities or countries, as well as for follow-up care and expert review of previous medical evaluations.
