For the Orlando metro
One doctor, the whole metro, and no drive unless you want one.
Dr. George W. Carroll practices from an office just north of the city in Maitland, and sees most patients by telemedicine — which is how a single physician looks after people from Winter Park to Lake Nona without anyone spending an afternoon on I-4. The first visit is free.
Seeing Dr. Carroll from anywhere in the metro
Weight-loss treatment means being seen about once a month, for as long as you're in treatment. Across a metro this size, making those visits easy matters.
Start with telemedicine. It's a live appointment with Dr. Carroll, the same physician for the same length of time, and it's what most patients here choose, including for a first visit. You need to be in Florida at the time of the visit, and that's the only condition.
That matters most if you're out in Lake Nona, Windermere, Lake Mary or anywhere else that turns a fifteen-minute appointment into a two-hour errand. Telemedicine fits a monthly visit into a busy day.
When you'd rather be seen in person, the office is in Maitland, north of the city on the 17-92 corridor, a few minutes from I-4 — and Dr. Carroll likes meeting new patients that way when it suits them. Telemedicine is how one office and one doctor care for patients across the metro.
