What can I expect from a telemedicine appointment?

First, you connect with Dr. Chakeer at Premier MedSpa through a secure video platform. Make sure you’re in a quiet space with a stable internet connection. This gives you the opportunity to discuss your health concerns so Dr. Chakeer can review your progress and provide medical guidance. 

Have your current medications listed and any health numbers ready to share. Dr. Chakeer can evaluate your condition, adjust prescriptions if needed, and give you a clear treatment plan — all through your screen. The appointment maintains the same professional medical standards as office visits while letting you stay in a comfortable, convenient location.

What can a telemedicine visit address?

Dr. Chakeer at Premier MedSpa offers telemedicine visits for a range of health concerns, giving you expert care without an office visit. Through secure video consultations, he can:

Assess weight loss progress
