Become a "Virtual" Patient
By Dr. Erica Volk, ND
|
Did you know that you can schedule a consult with me even if we don't live in the same city, province, or even country?! If you're struggling to find quality health care in your area, or if you're simply looking for answers from someone who will take your health concerns seriously, I'm happy to report that online virtual consults with me are available, either by phone or through a secure video chat platform. This makes quality health care more accessible to everyone.

Why go virtual? Virtual consults enable people from any location to consult with a physician using their phone, computer, or tablet using a secure video chat platform.
This is a great option for any of the following:
Health care from your couch, car, vacation spot, or office? What's better than that?
Additionally, virtual consults aren't that different from in-office visits. Many natural medicines including herbs and supplements as well as lab testing kits can be accessed online and shipped directly to you.
Ready to get started?
Can't find a babysitter? No problem. Car won't start? That's ok! Just need a second opinion? You got it!
Individuals who wish to work with me remotely can schedule using the convenient online scheduling option and even complete paperwork online (save a tree!). This is an option even for people who live in the same town.
To schedule, please click this link or reach out to me through my contact form.
Location and a busy life should not be a barrier to quality health care. I'm here to help!
The down side? While video chat allows the doctor to see the patient and make some evaluation based on appearance, technology hasn't yet become so advanced that a proper physical exam can be conducted. There is always the possibility that something could therefore be missed, and in some cases, a physical exam with a physician in your area should be conducted if possible.
This is a great option for any of the following:
- People with lack of access to quality health care or their desired health care (ie. alternative and complimentary health practitioners, specialists and experts, etc.)
- People with mobility challenges or illness that makes commuting to and from a doctor's office difficult
- People who live in heavy traffic areas and would like to avoid it!
- People who have to commute long distances to a doctor's office
- People with young children who would rather not have to find child care for their appointment
- People who are busy
- People who have been diagnosed with a health condition and are looking for alternative methods to manage or resolve it.
- People who are looking to prevent illness in the first place.
- People looking for personalized advice to support their health through supplements, diet, and exercise.
