Yes her appointment at his office was over a computer screen. I have never heard of this it blew my mind.
Are we really at this point that you travel to see a in person doctor wait in his lobby for over an hour to talk to him on a tv screen. The big problem was his accent was very heavy and he spoke very fast so she walked out of there without knowing what was spoken about (part was she was so taken back) She couldn’t tell you what the doctor said it was beyond sad.
I found this way to operate your practice is shameful. Really what the point of traveling to the office to talk to a screen.
Has anyone had this happen to you? Do other doctors do this as well?

I go there also and the TV screen is just for checking in like a receptionist. They always have doctors or nurse practitioner to see you if you go there with an appointment. Or in the same building around the corner you can walk in to their “Urgent Care” with no appointment. And a doctor will see you. They also do lot of in-house routine blood tests there.
