Your scheduled appointment

Follow-up Consultation Online

Your follow-up appointments will take place via video consultation. We’ll discuss your dosage, how well you’re tolerating the medication, and your next steps—all without having to travel or wait in a waiting room.

Only in person at the office

Measurements and blood draws are separate appointments. They do not replace a follow-up consultation and must be scheduled separately.

Do you need an in-person appointment at the office? In justified individual cases, a follow-up consultation at the office is possible. Please use this option only if a video consultation is not an option for you.
