Welcome to Inova Neurosurgery Virtual Visits!

Inova Neurosurgery provides excellence in care for all kinds of neurologic and surgical conditions through a combination of in-person and virtual visits. Virtual visits allow patients to speak with their doctor through a smartphone, computer or tablet device in real-time. Our patients receive the benefits of in-person visits, including a consult and check up with his/her physician, the prescribing of medications and/or neurological testing if and as appropriate.

Our goal is to reduce the number of times you have to come to the medical office while providing frequent, regular access to your care provider through virtual visits, phone calls and online messaging.
