What’s more, telemedicine appointments can provide the same quality of care as in-person appointments. Virtual dermatology appointments may be especially successful, according to the study, since doctors can examine a patient’s skin via video. Of the respondents to the Everyday Health survey, 21 percent have had a telemedicine appointment for psoriasis since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and 50 percent have had an in-person appointment.
