    Healthcare that remains local, personal and convenient -- We make it easy to get a specialist's opinion while maintaining the vital patient/doctor relationship. By using the Internet, our service allows the patient to remain in the local community, amongst familiar faces and surroundings. When the consultation is complete, you may incorporate the specialist's advice into the existing treatment plan as best fits the history.

    Doctor to doctor communication -- No one knows patient's medical history better than patient's own health provider. We understand this basic fact. Telemedicine Consultations works with the health provider to fully understand patient's medical history. The outcome is an opinion better suited to patient's personal circumstances than one created without the health provider's involvement.

    Decisions made in context -- Decisions about patient's healthcare should be made when all the alternatives and benefits are thoroughly understood.
