The diagnostic activity of the Center (screening, initial consultations, follow-ups, etc.) is ongoing at the usual speed and volume, using Telemedicine.
Telemedicine has been an option in our Center since its inception.
Even before COVID-19, more than 85% of our clinical encounters have been by Telemedicine.
Therefore, stepping up to 100% has not been a big problem for us.
Our Telemedicine platform is called VSee and is 100% HIPAA Compliant.
For the safety of our Staff and their families, the main office is manned by a skeleton crew, for a short part of the day.
The staff members of the Chiari/EDS team are working from their homes.
These logistical arrangements and your individual safety mandate some adjustments to the past routines:
The following is the list of the members of our team, along with their respective roles, and their email addresses:
