Can I apply for a TeleHealth Consult at Mayo Clinic?

Posted by service1010 @service1010, Dec 7 2:58pm

Am I doing myself a disservice my having my Mayo consultation by Telehealth? Urologist has all my records - MRI, Biopsy etc.
I want to do everything in my power to be accepted as a patient so I am worried if the Doc can't examine me or see how fit I am etc

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

Doing that would really concern me. If there is spread outside the prostate then Tulsa-Pro Isn’t really the right answer. You want to know the answer to that before you do any treatment.

Yes, to make sure cancer was contained in prostate.

@service1010, Mayo Clinic welcomes both new and existing patients for virtual and in-person care in adherence with federal and state executive orders and guidance. Virtual care is available for out-of-state patients IF the provider you are seeing is licensed in the state where you live.

Video and phone visits can be great options for appointments before, after or in place of face-to-face care. Appointment coordinators will recommend a virtual visit if it best fits your individual needs.
