Virtual Care has a valuable place in my practice for my stable patients to come in person every other visit and a phone call check up in between and for my patients from rural areas in inclement weather in a pinch and a few other scenarios. Virtual Care as a type of telephone or video walk- in clinic with a doctor from anywhere in the country or in the world has very little to no added value to a patient versus the patient going to an ER or walk- in in their own community who understands the region.
