Online Video Consultations via Doctena
At Huisartsenpraktijk Kioskplaats, we offer secure online video consultations via Doctena for selected medical concerns that can be safely assessed remotely.
A video consultation is a medical appointment conducted via a secure video connection. It is a convenient complement to an in-practice visit, but does not replace a physical examination when one is medically necessary.
Dr. Mohan always decides whether a video consultation is appropriate for your medical concern.
When is a video consultation suitable?
- Follow-up of an existing medical condition
- Discussion of blood test results or other investigation results
- Medication review
- Mental or emotional concerns
- Preventive health advice
- Assessment of whether an in-practice visit or referral is necessary (triage)
Not every medical problem can be safely assessed via video consultation. If the available information is insufficient or a physical examination is required, you will be asked to schedule an in-practice appointment or will be referred to the most appropriate healthcare provider.
