Modern phone calls use a boatload of proprietary software from your
Telco anyway, and you can't control the systems it goes through. Its
also easy to track and record. So it would seem that 1 piece of
proprietary software (Zoom) on an otherwise free system is the superior
option for 1. freedom, 2. privacy (Zoom supports encryption) and 3.
Practicality - you have the option to show your doctor something
visually, get in the waiting room early, easily add other participants,
background noise suppression, etc.
But of course you could get all of that with Jitsi as well, so if your
doctor is up for it, suggest Jitsi. Biggest sell: there's no software
to install on either end. Also supports dialing in by phone, and other
goodies. It's the Free option.

Our family doctor has good success with doing our appointments using
"telephone".
