Plastic surgeons with Florida Plastic Surgery Group in Jacksonville discuss the advantages of virtual consultations for new patients considering treatment as well as post-operative patients who may not require in-office assistance.
Jacksonville, FL – As the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a variety of major changes in our day-to-day lives, many businesses and service providers have found new and innovative ways to adapt. Medical care and aesthetic enhancement practices such as Florida Plastic Surgery Group are no exception. In addition to significantly enhancing disinfection protocols and reconfiguring its offices and scheduling practices to minimize risk of exposure to the coronavirus, the Jacksonville plastic surgeons at Florida Plastic Surgery Group have implemented a new tool of communication that allows current patients and prospective patients to meet with the members of their medical team without having to leave the comfort of their home. With the ability to talk to a top Jacksonville plastic surgeon online, the doctors say “virtual consultations” can accomplish a number of goals for patients while employing maximum pandemic safety precautions.
With several office locations throughout Jacksonville, Middleburg, and Jacksonville Beach, the doctors at Florida Plastic Surgery Group are used to being able to see numerous individuals come through their doors who express the desire to enhance their appearance or address certain physical conditions that may be affecting their livelihood. That changed when the pandemic hit, forcing the practice to explore different methods of communication—methods that could provide greater convenience to patients who weren’t comfortable visiting the practice in-person while simultaneously limiting the number of people in the office environment at one time. That’s when the idea of virtual consultations, conducted completely online, became a reality. By filling out a simple form on the practice’s website, prospective patients considering plastic surgery or other options could schedule a virtual consultation with one of the doctors and discuss their goals and ideal treatment options via phone or an online video link. Virtual consultations are also available to current post-operative patients who may not need to physically come into the office for follow-up care. The plastic surgeons at Florida Plastic Surgery Group say this online consultation affords individuals the opportunity to meet with them directly without having to visit the office, which heightens safety precautions and makes this part of the process even more convenient for patients.
The doctors note that, while virtual consultations offer a technologically advanced new tool for patients to utilize, all of the practice’s locations are fully open with strict pandemic safety protocols in place for those who would like to have their consultations in person. In addition to enhanced disinfection practices throughout the office, Florida Plastic Surgery Group screens all patients upon entry and new procedures have been implemented to minimize the potential for crowding in the waiting room. Ultimately, the doctors explain, the safety and health of their patients and their staff is the top priority. With enhanced precautions in the office environment and ways to meet with patients in a virtual setting, the plastic surgeons say adaptations to this new world we’re all living in can be successfully made while still providing individuals with the high-quality services they expect.
