Virtual consults People are often surprised that personal lactation consults can be done virtually! However, we have been conducting virtual consults long before Zoom and COVID19. We use a HIPAA-secure telemedicine platform to protect your privacy and can even bill your insurance for the session. While these consults don't take the place of a hands-on exam, you can get your questions answered from the comfort of your own home! Virtual consultations are 30 to 60 minutes.
