How a consultation with Dr Mathota works
You choose a time and pay online, receive a private single-use link by email and SMS, and join from a phone or computer with a camera — no app or account needed. Consultations last fifteen minutes, one to one, and are not recorded. Reports and scans you upload beforehand are seen only by Dr Mathota. If further assessment, investigations or surgery are needed, he will tell you plainly what he recommends and why.
