According to a survey conducted in Spain in May 2021, the main reason referred to by patients that favored consulting with a doctor in person was the preference to talk with the physician face-to-face, as indicated by 68 percent of respondents. In addition, around 47 percent of patients believe that doctors are unable to provide an accurate diagnosis online, while around a third claimed suffering from health problems that require in-person consultations. Based on the same survey, the impossibility of performing a physical examination is considered the most significant disadvantage of using teleconsultation services among respondents.
