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.
