I can't say but Laura and I've found many US doctors of various types who hide behind guidelines and "rules" to avoid tasks they do not wish to do. The telediagnosis you're seeking isn't 100% possible but it would be possible for a surgeon to write something like "Presentation of symptoms and imaging indicate that an in-person evaluation is necessary in an expeditious fashion in case further intervention is necessary to address condition before symptoms intensify."


Offering something like that to get you to their clinic might be something they'd buy into. On the other hand, COVID lockdowns have intensified in Germany in the past few days so it's unlikely you'd have an easy time getting in regardless of what was written by a surgeon
