Access to healthcare has diversified in recent years, and in many cases you can now reach your doctor via video call. But which is better for you: a telemedicine consultation or a face-to-face examination at our medical center? This article explains when each method should be preferred.

Telemedicine saves time for minor complaints, check-ups, and prescription renewals. However, for situations requiring a physical examination, tests, or intervention, you will need to come to our medical center. The nature of your complaint is crucial in making the right decision.

Choosing the right treatment begins with accurately assessing your complaint; sometimes a consultation is sufficient, while other times a face-to-face examination is necessary.

When is a telemedicine consultation sufficient?

In the following situations, a telemedicine consultation can quickly connect you with your doctor without you having to come to our medical center:

When you want to perform a routine check-up for your chronic condition
When you need to renew your prescription for a previously made diagnosis
When you want to discuss your test or imaging results with your doctor
When you want to get a preliminary assessment for your minor complaints
When you want to clarify which department you should apply to

Situations Where Face-to-Face Examination is Necessary

It is important to come to our medical center if you experience acute symptoms such as fever, severe pain, trauma, or shortness of breath, or if you have complaints requiring examinations such as physical examination, ultrasound, or X-ray. If you are unsure which method is right for you, our team will be happy to guide you.
