helloMD contacted me to place an ad about their upcoming Webinar (Doctor Chat) with Dr. Mast about the anterior approach to hip replacement. helloMD schedules Telehealth appointments with top specialists from your home. https://www.hellomd.com/

Interesting idea which seems to be growing. We all know having several opinions from top doctors helps us to decide what treatment is best for us. The Telehealth allows you to talk with doctors quickly who are local or distant.
helloMD states "Our goal is give you priority access to the world's leading doctors. Your first appointment is through Telehealth, which is fast and efficient. If need be, you can see the doctor in-person after that for treatment."
helloMD said "they use only Doctors that are in the Top 1% Worldwide. The are chosen by a board and carefully screened."
It is an interesting concept which is very close to our email consultations with several hip resurfacing surgeons at a time.
I never used their service and don't know much about it. I am willing, however, to learn more about the growth and future of online consultations with doctors.
helloMD plan to present a number of free Webinairs about various subjects by different specialists. The Webinairs are free, their Telehealth appointments are not free.

I understand there will be a question and answer period from the participants. Dr. Mast does do hip resurfacing, but the subject of this Webinar is about the Anterior Approach to Total Hip Replacement.
If you miss the Webinar, a video of the presentation will be available on line.
Hope to see you there.
