March of 2020- The office was closed temporarily but ended up being closed for 3 years. It was devastating at first as I had never done telemedicine before and didn’t think I would like it at all but it turns out, it is quite efficient for all involved!
It saves my patients time on the road, gas and the stress of finding the office and parking.
The video visits are shorter and more efficient than in office due to the lack of distractions and easy access to the learning materials and handouts which are easily transmitted to my patients.
There is also much more flexibility and leads to fewer cancellations. It is great for Medical Nutrition Therapy as no exam is needed- usually just your weight and height.
