Jorge A. Zapatier, M.D., F.A.C.G., spoke with Telemundo 31 in a live interview about how Digestive Disease Consultants is using telemedicine to provide safe, accessible video visits to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Dr. Zapatier explained his patients like telemedicine because it gives them a convenient way to meet with their doctor in real-time using audio and video.

“It benefits the people because they save time and don’t have to drive to a doctor’s office. It also helps to reduce the risk of infection because they don’t have to leave the home.”

Digestive Disease Consultants is offering in-office and telemedicine visits and taking extra safety precautions to protect patients and staff members.
