I felt like the call was a waste of time of time. I was asked to join the call around 11:30 for a 11:45 appt and didn't speak to the doctor until about 12:10 or so I. I normally follow up every 6 mos so not sure why Nurse Practitioner wanted me to be seen in 3 mos and apparently the doctor wasn't sure why I was scheduled either. He moved me back to every 6 months. I just felt it was a waste of time and money for a video call when I eas having no issues.
