I did not have a video visit but a phone conversation with Dr. Shah. I was never clear about the purpose of the appointment. Dr. Shah was the attending dr for my radiation treatment which took place a year ago. During our phone conversation, he asked about how I was doing and answered questions. The conversation lasted less than five minutes.
