What are Remote Consultations?
Remote consultations, also known as telemedicine or tele-neurology, involve using telecommunication technologies (like video calls or phone calls) to provide clinical services at a distance. This allows you to connect with Dr. Ritwiz without needing an in-person visit for every interaction.
Benefits of Remote Consultations
- Convenience: Access expert neurological care from anywhere, saving travel time and costs.
- Accessibility: Particularly beneficial for patients in remote areas, those with mobility issues, or busy schedules.
- Continuity of Care: Easier to manage follow-up appointments and monitor chronic conditions.
- Safety: Reduces exposure risks, especially important for vulnerable individuals.
What to Expect
- Scheduling: Request an appointment through our booking form, specifying your preference for a video or phone consultation.
- Preparation: Ensure you have a stable internet connection and a private, quiet space for the consultation. You may be asked to provide relevant medical records or test results beforehand.
- The Consultation: Dr. Ritwiz will discuss your symptoms, medical history, review any provided information, and provide medical advice, diagnosis (where possible remotely), and treatment plans.
- Follow-up: Prescriptions (if appropriate) can be sent electronically, and further tests or in-person visits may be recommended if necessary.
Is Remote Consultation Right for Me?
Remote consultations are suitable for many neurological conditions, including follow-ups for stable chronic conditions, medication management, review of test results, and initial discussions for non-urgent issues. However, some situations or acute emergencies may require an in-person examination. This will be assessed when you request an appointment.
