If you have a confirmed appointment with Dr Pokharel, please click Option 1 below to enter the virtual waiting room. You may do so up to 5 minutes before your appointment time and wait until your consultation begins. On occasion, there may be a short delay due to unforeseen clinical circumstances. If Option 1 does not work, please use Option 2.
Please enter your name as it appears in your referral or booking details so that Dr Pokharel can identify you correctly. You may be asked to allow access to your device’s camera and microphone, which are necessary for videoconferencing. No software download is required.
