Consultation or service process

Information to prepare

• Identity and contact information, preferred language, country of residence, and messenger or email that is checked regularly.
• Medical concern, prior diagnosis or consultation, medication, allergies, documents, and relevant photos if willingly shared.
• Preferred city, visit dates, companion needs, interpretation requests, and flexibility for schedule changes.
