patient consultation

Medical advice session

A patient consultation is a meeting between a healthcare provider and patient to discuss symptoms, diagnosis, or treatment options.

The term emphasizes the patient's role in the encounter—they are being consulted with, not merely examined.

The doctor scheduled a patient consultation to review the test results.

In medical billing and scheduling, it often distinguishes advisory visits from procedures or routine checkups.
