Will I need to do any tests during the visit?

Typically, tests are not done during the visit itself, but your provider may recommend lab tests or imaging that you can do later.

How do I ensure my privacy during the call?

Make sure you're in a private space, use secure internet, and check that the platform is HIPAA-compliant to protect your information.

What if I have technical issues during the call?
