every doctor operates a little differently. i've worked with doctors who would accept emailed images to them and i've worked with others who would not. the only way to know is to call selected doctors' offices and ask if they will accept your emailed images. the issue has become a bit more complicated since the health insurance portability and accountability act (hipaa) went into effect. some doctors do not have secure email so accepting emailed images with identifying information attached could be a violation of hipaa. i hope this answers your question!
