Sure you can....you may have some patients where you cant shake their hands, b/c of the encounter, but otherwise, read the patient....some may offer their hand, while some may sit there with their hands one on top of the other and just give you a head nod. What ever makes you comfortable to establish a dr-pt relationship. Good Luck.
