How do I "check in" to see Dr Tomlinson for my video consultation?

“Check-in” to see Dr Tomlinson in three simple steps:

- Enter your name, click "Check-In".
- You are now in Dr Tomlinson's virtual waiting room. Dr Tomlinson will be with you shortly.
These steps are outlined in the flyer below or can be viewed in this video.
Dr Tomlinson prefers videoconsultation to phone consultation for telehealth in most circumstances as it allows face to face conversation, screensharing and document sharing. Being able to display and discuss photographs, diagrams, radiology results and more allows significantly more information to be conveyed in a consultation. While videoconsultation has limitations when compared to a traditional in-person consultation (for example, Dr Tomlinson cannot feel or touch your hand) we endeavour to only offer telehealth consultations for circumstances where an in-person consultation is not clinically necessary. If you prefer a consultation via telephone (audio only) or in-person please let our reception staff know; this may mean that we recommend that you have an in-person consultation scheduled.
