It might not matter which one you have, the cold and the flu are both miserable to deal with and they seem far more common as the cold weather hits, kids are stuck in classrooms for hours on end, and everyone is sharing germs. When you’ve got a runny nose and sore throat, you may not know which one you’re dealing with, and how to feel better fast enough to handle life’s demands.
Doctor On Demand offers video visits with board certified physicians that can help you treat your symptoms, even if you end up needing a prescription!
From the comfort of your home, or hiding in the corner at work feeling miserable but doing your best to manage your day. You can ‘see’ a doctor via video either on your computer or mobile phone.
Just create an account, see a doctor right away or schedule an appointment for when you have time, enter in your symptoms and you’re set!
Scheduling an appointment via iPhone app.
Doctor On Demand is much faster than my usual doctor, where I have to call, sit on hold for 5+ minutes, get an appointment days out, go there, wait 30+ minutes to get called into a room, and then sit in said room for 20-60 minutes waiting for my doctor to show up and generally be dismissive or too busy to really seem like she cares enough to pay attention.
Instead, I know that the doctors on Doctor On Demand’s board-certified physicians can diagnose and treat me without me having to deal with all of the waiting, other sick people, and frustration of being stuck in a cramped room wondering when my doctor will make her appearance. I’ll get care when I need it! Not only that, a visit is quick (15 minutes) and only $40… which is a lot less expensive than seeing my doctor I’ll tell you that! What I see on my bill is always pretty shocking, even when all they did was take my blood pressure, take my temp and say “oh.. it’s just… ___” then you get a $300+ bill?
Yikes!
Doctor On Demand is offering a free first visit to my readers with code OHAYO15 !
So if you’re sick, and you need a doctor but don’t have the time or funds to go wait around in an office forever, Doctor On Demand is perfect! I am so happy that I can just stay in my pajama’s at home, without trying to find a baby sitter and handle the hassle that my usual doctors office is. Plus with their ability to sent prescriptions electronically to local pharmacies for me? The value in time and money saved is out of this world.
What a fabulous idea. This is a great app for people who are home bound or need a doctor right away. I love this service!
