Downstream Utilization Similar for In-Person, Virtual Neurology Visits

Summary: A recent study shows that seeing a brain doctor (neurologist) on a video call is just as safe and effective as seeing them in person. Researchers looked at over 16,000 patients and found that those who did virtual visits didn't end up in the emergency room or hospital any more than those who went to the clinic. For some conditions, like headaches or Parkinson's disease, patients actually had better follow-up care after a virtual visit. The bottom line? You can skip the waiting room without risking your health.
