5.0 | Nov 5, 2024 | The appointment was on time as scheduled. I was sent the link to the video app approximately 30 minutes before my appointment. I opened the link and completed the picture and audio tests as instructed. The app showed everything was working. When Dr. Brinkman entered the meeting, we could see and hear him and he could see us but could not hear us. I wish we would have been able to test the communication with his staff prior to him entering the meeting. Dr. Brinkman called us instead.and the meeting was completed without video. | |
