Dr. exam, then note: A doctor can write a note after doing an in-person exam. Generally, doctors do not write notes (such as work-excuse or school-excuse notes, or back-to-work or back-to-school notes) without an exam. That is because a doctor's note is his written, signed, professional opinion, on whether a patient should or can do a particular activity. An in-person exam gives confidence to the doctor's opinion.

No: This is a public information site where volunteer docs answer questions about health problems. We do not offer treatments, notes or other direct services. These become legal documents that must stand up to court or medical board review. Your regular doc may be willing to without a visit do to ongoing care.
