What a Georgia video consultation covers
Georgia patients can book a direct video consultation with a board-certified dermatologist without waiting months for a referral appointment.
The consultation is a complete physician visit, including diagnosis where possible by video, treatment options, and a written plan.
This state observes Eastern Time, and appointment times are shown in the time zone you select when you book.
- Care is available statewide, not only in metropolitan Atlanta.
- Prescriptions are sent electronically to the Georgia pharmacy you choose during the visit.
Who can book from Georgia
- You will be physically located in Georgia 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.
