I don't mind either way myself, but I have only had one that I know of, I have doc call me something about something I called about and she addressed the situation I had brought to her, like my insomnia and did get taken care of, but what are your thoughts on the phone call with your doctor and such etc, I am being let known about my Lab works done from my past visit with her,I don't have a prob with either seeing my doc, or email or phone, it's all good to me, just wondering.

Call me old fashioned, but they don't impress me. I dont call talking to someone for a couple minutes and charging your insurance a doctors appointment. To me that is a video chat or social chat..

Unless I was to have a seizure, that is the only way I have an appointment with my Neurologist. I have been seizure free for almost 7 years though. If I need refills for my meds, I send my Neurologist an email and she usually sends them in pretty fast. Because It took me almost 50 years to get my license, my regular doctor is a visiting doctor who comes to my house once a month. Any tests I need done, my visiting doctor brings the machines to my house and does them at home. If I need to take blood, my visiting doctor takes blood at my house as well and sends it to my Neurologist!

I don't mind a phone appointment, cause I can get answers to the main problem quicker, to see my GP can take up to 6 weeks, unless it's a serious problem then I use my life line to get appointment straight away.
