UH Virtual Consult for Minimally Invasive Surgery for Tumors of the Base of the Skull and Balance Disorders
Our virtual visit services include online video and telephone appointments. With virtual visits, you can access many of the same services you receive during a traditional in-person appointment. These include remote symptom monitoring, diagnosis and treatment, prescriptions and other medical services.
A virtual consultation with a UH ear and skull base surgeon offers these benefits:
Prompt evaluation and treatment. Virtual consults are scheduled within 24 to 48 hours after you contact us, so the most effective treatment(s) for you, which may include participation in a clinical trial, can be determined and quickly begun. Establishing a trusting relationship with one of our surgeons, understanding your options and being involved in your own treatment decisions can help reduce anxiety and disability throughout your treatment and recovery journey.
Convenience. With a virtual consult, there is no need to travel. You can talk to one of our ear surgeons from the comfort of your own home or office.
Affordable. Virtual consultations are among the most affordable options for care, costing about the same as a traditional office visit copay. We accept all major insurance plans.
Second opinion consults available. If you have already spoken to an ear and skull base surgeon about treatment for your condition, it is always beneficial to get a second opinion. UH virtual consultations are offered for initial appointments as well as second opinions.
