At the Texas Center for Bariatrics & Advanced Surgery in Plano, TX, we understand that it is not always convenient - or possible - to attend an in-person consultation. Fortunately, virtual consultations make it possible for Dr. A. Joseph Cribbins III and ​Dr. Keli McCalman to discuss your candidacy for weight loss surgery from the comfort of home. You can arrange to take advantage of this convenient service right away!

Why Are Virtual Consults So Popular?

More and more patients are choosing telemedicine over traditional appointments, especially in light of the current situation. Simply put, virtual consultations are just more convenient. You can pick a date and time that works for your schedule without having to worry about a commute or fitting a lengthy appointment into your busy day. Plus, these visits are incredibly private. Speaking with a board-certified doctor over your phone, tablet, or computer provides a comfortable, low-pressure environment to simply learn more about your treatment options.

How Do I Get Started?

Fill out a request form and one of our team members will respond to your message as soon as possible. We will finalize an appointment time and help determine whether Skype®, FaceTime®, Zoom®, or another app will be best for your needs. The initial screening that will take place with one of our doctors includes discussing your health history, your concerns, and your goals–all of which can be easily covered during a video chat. We will provide information about how to complete the necessary forms prior to your appointment.
