How does telehealth neurology work for San Francisco patients?
Our telehealth neurology service connects San Francisco patients with our board-certified neurologist via secure video consultations. You will meet virtually with Dr. Achillefs Ntranos MD from our Beverly Hills office through a HIPAA-compliant platform. Simply schedule your appointment online, and you will receive a link to join your video consultation from any device with a camera and internet connection.

Does insurance cover telehealth neurology visits for San Francisco residents?
We work as an out-of-network provider and can provide a detailed superbill for insurance reimbursement, but most PPO insurance plans cover telehealth neurology consultations for California residents, including those in San Francisco. So you can get reimbursed for your telehealth neurology appointments, based on your out of network benefits. Additionally, your insurance will typically cover any needed testing, imaging, or medications at San Francisco-area facilities.
Where is your physical office located in relation to San Francisco?
Our physical offices are located in Los Angeles (11620 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 600) and Beverly Hills (433 North Camden Drive, Suite 610). We serve San Francisco patients exclusively through telehealth consultations, providing the same expert neurological care without requiring travel. This allows San Francisco residents to access top-tier neurological expertise while remaining in the Bay Area.
What if I need imaging or lab work as a San Francisco telehealth patient?
If you need MRI, CT scans, or lab work, we will provide referrals to reputable facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area. We work with Quest and Labcorp locations throughout San Francisco, and can also arrange at-home lab draws through GetLabs.com. Once we receive your results, we will review them with you via telehealth and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
Can you prescribe medications to San Francisco patients via telehealth?
Absolutely. As a California-licensed neurologist, Dr. Achillefs Ntranos MD can prescribe medications and send prescriptions directly to your preferred San Francisco pharmacy. We can coordinate treatments, infusions, and specialized medications with Bay Area facilities, providing all necessary referrals and support.
What neurological conditions do you treat via telehealth for San Francisco patients?
We provide telehealth consultations for a comprehensive range of neurological conditions including migraines, chronic headaches, neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, brain fog, memory concerns, dizziness, numbness, and many other neurological symptoms. Our virtual evaluations are thorough and effective for most neurological conditions affecting San Francisco residents.
Is telehealth neurology as effective as in-person visits?
For most neurological conditions, telehealth consultations are highly effective and can provide the same quality of care as in-person visits. Dr. Ntranos conducts comprehensive evaluations through video, reviews your medical history, discusses symptoms in detail, and can observe many neurological functions remotely. If an in-person exam is necessary, we can arrange that or provide appropriate local referrals in San Francisco.
What technology do I need for a telehealth neurology visit?
You simply need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera, microphone, and stable internet connection. Our telehealth platform is user-friendly and HIPAA-compliant. Before your appointment, you will receive a link to test your connection. No special software downloads are required—just click the link at your appointment time.
How quickly can I speak with my neurologist between appointments?
San Francisco patients have direct access to Dr. Ntranos between appointments through our secure patient portal. For urgent concerns, you can also call our office at (310) 774-7025 or text us. We prioritize responsive communication to ensure continuous support for our telehealth patients.
What payment methods do you accept for San Francisco telehealth patients?
We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and flexible payment options through Affirm and Klarna. Payment is processed securely at the time of your telehealth consultation. If you have financial concerns, please contact our office to discuss payment plans.
Can I get a second opinion via telehealth if I live in San Francisco?
Yes! Many San Francisco patients seek second opinions through our telehealth service. Dr. Ntranos will comprehensively review your medical records, previous test results, and current treatment plan via video consultation. To schedule a second opinion consultation, simply book online and upload your records before the appointment.
Do you offer specialized care for migraines and headaches via telehealth?
Absolutely. Dr. Ntranos specializes in migraine and headache treatment, and telehealth is highly effective for these conditions. Many of our San Francisco patients successfully manage their migraines through virtual consultations, benefiting from personalized treatment plans, medication management, and ongoing support—all without leaving home.
How do follow-up appointments work for San Francisco telehealth patients?
Follow-up telehealth appointments are scheduled based on your treatment needs and can be easily booked online or by calling our office. These virtual follow-ups allow us to monitor your progress, adjust medications, review test results, and address any new concerns—all from your San Francisco location. Most patients find virtual follow-ups even more convenient than initial consultations.
What makes your telehealth neurology service different for San Francisco patients?
Our telehealth service provides San Francisco residents with direct access to a board-certified neurologist specializing in comprehensive neurological care. Unlike large telehealth platforms, you will see the same expert neurologist every time, receive extended consultations without rushing, and benefit from responsive communication between visits. We coordinate all local testing and medications in the San Francisco area while providing personalized, continuity-based care.
Is Dr. Achillefs Ntranos MD licensed to provide telehealth services to San Francisco patients?
Yes, Dr. Achillefs Ntranos MD is fully licensed in California and board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He is legally authorized to provide telehealth neurology consultations to patients throughout California, including San Francisco and the entire Bay Area.
Can I switch to in-person appointments if needed while living in San Francisco?
While our offices are located in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, if you are ever in Southern California or prefer an in-person visit, you can schedule an appointment at either location. If a local in-person visit is necessary, we can provide a referral to a local neurologist in the San Francisco area. However, most San Francisco patients find that telehealth covers their needs with the added convenience of no travel, or at least expedites their care while waiting for a local in-person visit.
How do I prepare for my first telehealth neurology appointment?
Before your first virtual consultation, gather your medical records, current medications list, previous test results (MRIs, labs, etc.), and write down your symptoms and questions. Find a quiet, well-lit space for the video call. Test your device's camera and microphone beforehand. Having this information ready helps us provide the most comprehensive evaluation during your San Francisco telehealth appointment.
Do you treat multiple sclerosis via telehealth for San Francisco patients?
Yes, we provide specialized MS care through telehealth for San Francisco patients. Dr. Ntranos has extensive expertise in multiple sclerosis management. For dedicated MS services, visit our MS clinic page for San Francisco. Telehealth is highly effective for MS monitoring, medication management, and symptom evaluation.
What are the benefits of telehealth neurology for busy San Francisco professionals?
San Francisco professionals benefit enormously from telehealth neurology: no commute through Bay Area traffic, no time off work for travel to Southern California, flexible appointment scheduling including evening slots, and the ability to attend from your office or home. You receive the same expert care in a fraction of the time commitment required for in-person visits and less waiting time for appointments.
How do cancellations and rescheduling work for San Francisco telehealth appointments?
You can cancel or reschedule your telehealth appointment online, by phone, or by texting (310) 774-7025. We request at least 24 hours' notice to avoid a cancellation fee. This policy helps us accommodate other San Francisco patients seeking timely neurological care. Rescheduling is quick and easy through our online portal.
