What is a Patient Consult and why do I need one?
Some Radiology procedures, especially Vascular Interventional studies, require a patient consult. A Patient Consult is a special time that you will spend with a staff member who will interview you about your medical history, health, and symptoms. During this time, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn what to expect about the study.
