A member asked:

Can a healthtap virtual consult provide an official diagnosis?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Numerous superlative and expert clinicians staff the virtual consult sites. This allows a far more thorough appraisal than this public education site. If straightforward, often a diagnosis can be obtained immediately. But some conditions are more complex requiring additional visits or appropriate testing. In the vast majority of cases, patients have been very pleased.

It definitely can, however many times work up and detailed review of previous medical information is necessary for a firm diagnosis. Not to mention cases where a diagnosis may not be apparent for long time.
