Telemedicine

Technological advancement now makes telehealth a viable option for more people across the world. This means you now have access to our expert medical team via phone, video, and instant messaging.

Here is how telemedicine can benefit you.

• Accessibility: Regardless of your location, connect with a sarcoma specialist for expert advice and second opinions.
• Convenience: Schedule appointments at times that fit your busy schedule, eliminating the need for extensive travel.
• Time-Saving: Focus on your well-being and avoid the stress of lengthy journeys.
• Continuity of Care: Maintain consistent care with our specialists through regular telemedicine appointments.

Here is how our telemedicine service can help with your sarcoma care. 

• Discuss a new or existing sarcoma diagnosis
• Seek a second opinion on a sarcoma diagnosis
• Address post-treatment concerns and monitor progress after sarcoma treatment
• Explore general inquiries about sarcoma and potential treatment options

The first step in the process is to schedule your appointment. To do this:

• Initiate your appointment by contacting our office at 310-552-9999 or request an appointment online.
• During the scheduling process, you may be asked to submit relevant medical records in advance for review by our specialists to review. We will provide clear instructions and resources to guide you through this step.

The next step is to prepare for your appointment. For this:

• Ensure you have a device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) with a reliable internet connection, camera, and microphone.
• If you require a language interpreter, please let us know during scheduling.

During your conversation with your doctor:

• We will conduct a virtual meeting via video call.
• The meeting will involve reviewing your medical history, discussing your concerns, and answering any questions you may have.
• Our goal is to provide comprehensive and personalized advice for your condition.

After your meeting with the physician, we will send you a detailed follow-up plan outlining the next steps, potentially including recommendations for in-person visits if necessary.

You will also receive a copy of the notes from your session via email for your reference.

Rest assured that your privacy is our top priority. All telemedicine appointments are conducted securely using industry-standard encryption. We adhere strictly to HIPAA regulations to ensure the confidentiality of your medical information.
