COVID-19 has seemed to speed up the correlation between virtual consults for weight loss and general surgery.

Northern Virginia Surgical Specialists are among the first surgery offices to offer this for their patients’ convenience.

In fact, virtual consultations make deciding if weight loss surgery is your best option as easy as a click of the button!

Benefits of Virtual Consultations

Virtual consultations provide an accessible way for patients and doctors to connect during this time when social distancing is at the forefront of everyone’s minds.

Moreover, telemedicine is a way for doctors to see patients who may be currently considered lower priority due to the current pandemic, on their own schedule.

For weight loss surgery patients, telemedicine is an excellent way to complete any post-operative consultations with the many specialists who can help to best prepare you for your surgery session.

This revolutionary technology is a great option for patients who require a doctor’s opinion for general surgery issues as well.

These options can include some of the following services, currently offered by Northern Virginia Surgical Specialists:
