If you have a chronic or acute pain condition you want treated or managed, but you want or need to stay home, our pain management clinic in Bellevue, WA offers telemedicine appoinments as an option. Many Seattle-area hospitals have canceled appointments since 2020, but we can see you by video and audio.
The appointment will include your choice of secure audio or video chat with Dr. Jason Attaman, a review of all records you submit to us at least 24 hours prior to the appointment, and any advice or course of treatment that we can administer with the information supplied. Dr. Attaman can educate you using a 3D anatomy program and even show you your imaging studies such as MRI via screen share. An appointment often takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the complexity of your case, and a follow-up appointment takes 20 minutes.
