Doctor-At-A-Distance Consultation
-Our physician is available during routine work-hours, and after-hours, 24/7, to provide expert analysis and advice by phone, email, or telemedicine on pre- and post- travel medical issues and problems/illness.
There is a cost for access to such expertise which is willingly provided, but nonetheless disruptive to our professional and personal lives.
Hopefully, this service will provide value in allowing to make decisions in your best medical interests. It may also allow you to avoid the lost time and often exorbitant costs of visits to “urgent care” centers and hospital emergency facilities, where the medical staff often are not experienced or knowledgeable in these matters and may even give misinformation. Primary care physicians typically do not want to address medical issues associated with travel as they are understandably unable to stay abreast of diseases encountered outside of the U.S. They promptly “refer out” such cases. We short-circuit the situation such that time delays do not happen when there may be time-criticality in a medical issue. We believe the charges for after-hours consultation provides substantial value, in the right circumstances.
ATTENTION!: PLEASE NOTE OUR PHYSICIAN CAN ONLY PROVIDE THESE SERVICES IN TEXAS, WHERE HE IS LICENSED TO PRACTICE MEDICINE.
