Secure video appointments for follow-ups, medication management and result reviews — for patients whose symptoms make travel difficult, and for everyone whose time is short.
A great deal of neurology is conversation: how the medication is working, whether the headaches have changed frequency, what the MRI showed, whether a dose needs adjusting. None of that requires a waiting room.
Telehealth is particularly valuable in neurology because so many of our patients find travel genuinely difficult. Someone with active vertigo, a movement disorder affecting gait, or a seizure disorder that has cost them their licence should not have to choose between a difficult journey and going without follow-up.
You need a phone, tablet or computer with a camera and a reasonable internet connection. We send a secure link before the appointment; there is no software to buy and no account to create. Find a private, well-lit spot and have your medication bottles within reach — being able to read the actual labels is more useful than you would think.
If a family member usually joins your visits, they can join the video call from anywhere. For cognitive and seizure follow-ups we actively encourage it.
Call 911 for sudden weakness, facial droop, difficulty speaking, sudden vision loss, a first seizure, or a sudden worst-ever headache. Do not wait for a scheduled video visit.
