Appointment by phone?

I have a therapist appointment tomorrow morning and I might take it by phone because my back hurts. Do you still meet by phone with your pdoc and therapist?

My psychiatrist insists that I come in and see them physically.

It’s only for 10 minutes every 6 months though.

I prefer to see my pdoc and docs in person… It might be different if I had the equipement ot do it on PC.

BUt I dont like doing it on phone for multiple reasons.

  1. Ive dont it before and the links open in a browser that doesnt work with the software, so I have to copy it , which I am horrible at on phone, then paste it into a different browser.
  2. I do not like the small screen and being on my phone in general
  3. With the regular doc some of the stuff is better and results in a more thorough meeting if you can have physical contact…diabetes feet check, etc.

All my therapy and pdoc appointments are on the computer now.

Actually, haven’t seen either of them in-person since 2020 :upside_down_face:.

Yes, my current team (NP) uses video on my phone.

My pdoc visits are always either televideo or phone. I have never seen my current pdoc in person.

In Oakland I liked to see my pdoc personally, his office was in Chinatown and it was such a nice area to visit and just walk through. I wasn’t from there so it was marvelous to me.

Since coming back though all my psychiatric appointments are on Zoom. My Primary Care Physician likes to see me in person though.
