Virtual consultations make Dr. Baravarian’s expertise available to all
Many of our patients first learn about Dr. Bob through a friend, a media story, or online research. But what if you don’t live near our Los Angeles location?
While many people travel from across the country, and even around the world, to see him, we understand that traveling to Southern California for care can be challenging and costly.
That’s why, in response to patient requests, we’re pleased to offer virtual consultations. This convenient option allows you to “visit” with our nationally recognized doctor from the comfort of your home, helping you understand what’s causing your foot or ankle pain or get a trusted second opinion before moving forward with treatment in your area.
Once we’ve received and carefully reviewed your doctor’s notes, medical records, X-rays, and/or MRIs, you’ll be invited to meet with Dr. Bob through our secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform for a private consultation to discuss your foot and ankle care needs.
The Advantages of a Qualified Second Opinion
When your orthopedic health is on the line, it’s always a good idea to get a second opinion from another expert. Getting a fresh pair of eyes on your condition can cut down on human error. A second opinion decreases the risk of incorrect diagnosis and can help you avoid costly, unnecessary treatments and surgeries.
Most doctors recommend searching out a second opinion, especially for complicated or recurring issues. It’s important to get multiple perspectives on these problems. A diagnosis from a second doctor can sometimes be completely different from your original diagnosis. In many cases, a patient’s condition requires the seasoned eyes of a foot and ankle specialist with decades of experience. That is what Dr. Bob brings to your table.
Here are a few common conditions and treatments that usually benefit from a second opinion:
- Previous unsuccessful treatment or surgery
- Chronic ankle instability and reconstructive tendon repair
- Bunion surgery
- Ankle replacement
- Flat foot reconstruction
- Ankle and big toe arthritis
- Regenerative therapies: stem cell, amniotic cell, and platelet-rich plasma
A virtual consultation with Dr. Baravarian helps you gain confidence in your next steps and peace of mind about your care plan. Andour virtual consultation system makes getting a second opinion easier than ever.
