WELCOME to DRY EYE AND ALLERGY RELIEF CENTER, Colorado Virtual Telehealth Services
A quick telephone consultation for on-the-go service is convenient for simple conditions. Ongoing treatment adjustments and brief follow up visits can also be done promptly via phone.
Dry eye is usually a chronic condition. Not everyone has the same cause for dry eyes. There is no one treatment that fits all. Therefore, an individualized care plan is required. Periodic assessment of treatment success is also smart. Care plans may need to be adjusted based on new symptoms (improving or worsening) or acute exacerbations (a new medical condition). These visits usually take less than half an hour.
Those with chronic medical conditions such as Sjogrens syndrome will need an in depth review of past medical history, treatment history, current conditions, medications, allergies, contributing social, environmental and lifestyle factors, for correct diagnosis. Discussion of holistic treatment options will help develop an individualized treatment plan and establish treatment goals. Further education, changes to environmental factors, nutrition support and self-care instructions will be provided.
These are NOT your usual 10 minute doctor visits. You have my time and full attention.
NOTE: This is a virtual office. There is no physical office location.
Why I don't take any insurance, including Medicare:
Dry eye disease and ocular allergies are complex diseases.
Nowadays, the usual doctor visits are about 7 minutes long. This is mainly dictated by insurance reimbursements and practice overhead. 7 minutes is not enough time to understand each individual's unique disease, explain the condition and treatment options effectively, discuss mutually agreeable therapeutic plan or develop lasting relationships.
I value the "patient-doctor" relationship. Therefore, I have decided to spend all my time and effort helping my patients, instead of dealing with insurance companies and governing bodies.
NOTE: Medicare patients will need to sign a separate private contract with me for the virtual visit (as per CMS rules and regulations).
Unfortunately, I am unable to see Medicaid patients at this time.
