If you’re having a telemedicine visit with your doctor to discuss your ankylosing spondylitis, the last thing you want to do is spend the entire session trying to get your webcam to work, and then forget to ask all the questions that you had.
“It's important to be prepared for your visit with your rheumatologist so that you and your physician get the most out of it,” says Nilasha Ghosh, MD, Rheumatologist at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
Nilasha Ghosh, MD, MS, is a board-certified Rheumatologist with expertise in autoimmune diseases, inflammatory arthritis, and musculoskeletal medicine.
