Part one of the program will be a comprehensive study in learning how to meet with your doctor over the internet for a Telemedicine Appointment and to be prepared with your questions.

Part Two is a “peek” at an actual appointment in which we will simulate an office visit. Alex Tressor will play the role of the patient, with Dr. Stuart Isaacson playing the role of the Movement Disorder Neurologist. Each one will actually play themselves. We will take questions from our participants after the 30-minute appointment.
