Understanding Our Virtual Appointments

The Division of Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstruction at Children’s National Hospital offers virtual second opinion appointments – at no cost – to help families understand our program and determine how we might help your child. We do this through video meetings, where our team provides insights into what we can offer and evaluates each child’s particular needs. These consultations are a way for families to get a sense of how we can assist their child based on their specific needs.

Our Promise to Families

When seeking a virtual second opinion from our colorectal team, it is essential to understand that these appointments are offered at no cost or charge to patient families. This approach ensures that you receive expert advice and evaluation without any financial burden.

Preparing for Your Appointment

We aim to make the consultation process as smooth and informative as possible. Rest assured, our team will provide all necessary instructions and support prior to, and during, your video conference call appointment. We look forward to assisting you and providing the best possible care and support for your child. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
