RealSelf has added a new feature to its app -- virtual consultations, to connect users with plastic surgeons and other aesthetic providers.
The new search experience allows consumers to filter specifically for plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and other aesthetic providers who are offering online consultations.
More than 600 doctors across the United States have already opted into the new feature. If a doctor is active on RealSelf and currently offering virtual consultations, their profile will say "Virtual consultations accepted."
RealSelf founder and CEO Tom Seery says, "It is easy for our community members to find, contact and meet with a doctor—all from the privacy of their homes. Now more than ever, patients and doctors see mutual value in virtual connections."
Seery adds, "While we originally planned to release this feature later in the year, we expedited the launch to support our community as they adjust to a new normal. We're looking at virtual solutions through a different lens now, and have started testing new tools and features that will improve experiences for consumers and doctors far into the future."
