Portuguese term

so consulta

Portuguese to English Medical Medical: Health Care Types of patient consultations
I'm translating a list of a patient's contacts with a particular clinic. For each entry, there's an item that indicates the type of interaction. The options (and my tentative translations) are as follows:

Primeira consulta (Initial visit)
Retorno (Follow-up visit)
Reconsulta (Office visit)
So consulta (???)

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Selected

single consultation

That means the patient visited the doctor just that one time.

Check Google for "single doctor's consultation" and you'll get a lot of results.

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you so much! I agree with your translation. But given some quirky wording in the source text, I wound up making it vaguer and putting "simple consultation.""

Portuguese term (edited): só consulta

only/just visit

It may be missing the accent. The word 'Só' (instead of 'So') means 'Only' or 'Just'.
Peer comment(s):

agree Clara Duarte : "Only visit" could work too, meaning the patient only went there for that visit and never enjoyed any other service from the clinic. Maybe that's what the context is all about.
