During the COVID-19 pandemic, MSK has expanded its use of telemedicine, otherwise known as phone and or video technology across all of our specialties. If your doctor thinks your appointment can be conducted as a televisit, this will be recommended to you. A televisit allows us to use technology in order to provide you care while you are at home, minimizing your travel during this time. During a televisit, we will do all of the things that we do during an on-site visit, including taking your history, doing a physical examination, and discussing with you our recommendations and management plan. We will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.
