Virtual Consultations
What is a virtual consultation
Due to the demand for consultations from patients who either live outside of Durban or cannot find the time to come in to visit us in person, we offer electronic consultations via our app called MEDICI from the convenience of you cell phone.

It is really easy to use and costs less than an in-person consultation.

​

We are available for e-consultations after hours and on weekends as well as public holidays ​
All you need to do to initiate an e-consult is start chatting in the app
​
Not all medical conditions can be treated virtually. Interaction with a doctor in person may be necessary.
​
You will be given medical advice via the app, however, should you require a procedure or diagnostic test, you will be asked to come in to our office for an in-office consultation / treatment or to visit your local doctor. As we have provided medical advice, you will, understandably, still be charged for this consultation. If a treatment is recommended, we will not charge you again for a consult in our office, but only charge for the treatment.
