As a geriatric medicine fellow at Harvard Medical School, Boston, I received fantastic mentorship from Dr Andrea Wershof Schwartz, an expert in telemedicine (video clinic visits) for older people. Your doctor may offer a telephone or video visit instead of a face-to-face visit. Will the doctor be able to fully assess me at a telemedicine visit? On a video visit, they can show me around the room or whole house if they wish. Tips for Accessing Telemedicineicon If you would prefer not to do a video visit, ask if it can be done on the telephone or in person instead.
