Q: How can my doctor treat me without a physical exam?

Your provider doesn’t need to do a physical exam to diagnose and treat many conditions. That’s because knowing your medical history is considered “90% of the evaluation” when combined with the provider-patient interaction.

How you’re feeling can be just as important to your provider as the results of a physical exam. Plus, seeing you and viewing any picture uploads via eVisit gives your provider the additional visual information needed to make a diagnosis.
