Telemedicine
By offering telemedicine services, we can reach to patients who may have difficulty visiting the clinic in person, whether due to distance, mobility issues, or other constraints. Additionally, telemedicine can be a useful tool for follow-up consultations, discussing treatment plans, and monitoring progress for certain skin conditions.
