telehealth visit
Virtual doctor consultation
A telehealth visit is a medical appointment conducted remotely through video, phone, or online chat rather than in person.
The term became widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-office visits posed infection risks: My doctor switched me to telehealth visits during lockdown.
Also called a virtual visit or telemedicine appointment.
