A physician consultation at Jaya means a meeting with a medical doctor about your overall health or about a particular problem that is ailing you. First appointments will generally take approximately 30 minutes during which time the doctor will aim to get to know you and your health concerns. Sometimes a physical exam will take place at this visit or will be done at a subsequent visit.  Follow up visits may also be arranged, when appropriate.

If you are not already a patient at Jaya, a physician consultation can certainly be an entry point into the clinic. If you are seeing a Jaya practitioner already, ask them if they think a medical consultation would be helpful to you.  At Jaya, integration between practitioners and health systems is paramount.

A physician consultation is not appropriate for routine annual physical exams or for acute illness (those that come on suddenly and severely).  Having a consultation with the physician at Jaya does not replace the care of your regular family physician if you have one.
