Reumatolog online

What does an online consultation with a rheumatologist look like?

A rheumatologist diagnoses various rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, and connective tissue disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis.

An online consultation with a rheumatologist works very similarly to an in-person visit, with the only difference being that it takes place remotely – by phone. During the teleconsultation, the doctor conducts a detailed medical interview, reviews any previous test results, and assesses the patient's condition based on the symptoms reported. If treatment or further diagnostics are necessary, the rheumatologist can issue an e-prescription, refer the patient for laboratory and imaging tests, or provide a medical leave certificate (L4).

Thanks to teleconsultation, patients can receive quick and professional medical support without leaving home. If a physical examination is required, the doctor will refer the patient to an in-person appointment.
