Dr. Kotler Speaks on Virtual Consultations on Skype

Today’s technology is allowing us to consult with people all over the world.  That doesn’t mean that patients necessarily come here to Beverly Hills; now from the comfort and privacy of their home, patient’s can consult with me at the office.

The key is computer technology by which we can morph a patient’s digital “before” photo into a “after.”  We can show the patient the predicted result of the cosmetic procedures or skin treatments.  That is all done through our website.  It is really quite something.

Now we are enhanced by Skype.  Not only can we share with the patient our predictions for the result, but we can see the patient, speak with the patient, make some evaluations and have even more information at hand to make proper recommendations. 

Virtual consultations are wise, economical and practical.  Often, we can tell patient’s that they might not be a candidate and save them the trip either across the state or country, or across the ocean. 

We have been a devotee of virtual consultations and continue to be so because there is nothing like chatting with the patient “face to face” and having the chance to discuss and have a meeting of the minds regarding the outcome that the patient hopes for and we predict will be achieved.
