At Galleria Podiatry we are now offering the convenience of Telehealth Consultations (via phone or video conference).
You can book a TeleHealth consultation by clicking the link below or contact us via phone to arrange a suitable appointment time.
It’s super simple and takes about 5 minutes to set up. All you need is a telephone, smart phone, laptop or PC, and an internet connection.
We’ll send you the 2 step instructions on how to prepare for the consultation and an information form to complete prior to the consultation.
Our preferred platform for your TeleHealth consultation is PhysiApp.
Payment for your Telehealth Consultation is completed over the phone prior to your consultation with a credit card payment.
But why not just use Skype/Google Hangouts/FaceTime?
Since the 1990’s, it has been possible to chat with other Internet users all over the world using a webcam and a microphone. Several technologies emerged which have become extremely popular, such as Skype and FaceTime.
However, for Telehealth in Podiatry we use PhysiApp for 2 important reasons:
- Privacy – PhysiApp Telehealth allows video calls without the need for you to import contact details or link with your social media accounts.
- Security – Chats are encrypted to help avoid interception.
