An Orangeville Citizen article highlights some of the positive aspects of remote Doctor/Patient Video Consultations:
“My mother avoided a 90 minute drive one way for a doctor’s appointment. It’s the same as being in the doctor’s office. You can see and talk to the doctor and he can see and talk to you in real time. The availability of telemedicine has been a godsend for us”
Vito Barbaro, a patient who’s enthusiastic about medical video consulting.
“Most of the information physicians need to effectively manage a patient’s care is to see and talk with them”
Dr. Ken Derksen, Chief of Staff at Headwaters Health Care Center.
