You can help us by taking pictures of the area of concern prior to your appointment.  Please use a camera or smart phone with high quality camera to take pictures close up and in good light.  Upload these images to the device that you will use for your virtual visit.  Let the provider know you took pictures. We will ask you to use the screenshare function of Zoom
