What a Arizona video consultation covers
Arizona patients can book a direct video consultation with Dr. Shaikh from anywhere in the state.
Because most of Arizona does not observe daylight saving time, the booking flow asks for your time zone and calculates every displayed time from it, so the appointment time you see is the one you keep.
Most of Arizona observes Mountain Standard Time year-round and does not change clocks for daylight saving time, so the difference from Eastern Time changes twice a year. Select your time zone when you book and the displayed time will be correct.
- Arizona's lack of daylight saving time is handled automatically once you select your time zone.
- High year-round sun exposure is taken into account when your regimen is written.
Who can book from Arizona
- You will be physically located in Arizona during the video appointment. Eligibility follows your location that day, not your mailing address.
- You are 18 or older.
- You are paying directly for the visit. This practice does not bill insurance, and Medicare or Medicare Advantage patients cannot book online — contact the practice instead.
- Follow-up visits are for patients Dr. Shaikh has already seen.
If you will be located outside the states where care is currently offered, the visit cannot be scheduled and no payment is taken.
