We our clients are saying...
While getting ready for vacation as I promised my kids I would take them to Washington DC. I have a Sinus Infection, and my Doctor can't see me for 3 days!!! I called MD Consult/Teladoc. A representative takes down my info and I have a live doctor calling me just minutes later. I explained my situation and my symptoms. It was like I was talking to my family doctor. He was very understanding and gave me a prescription that he sent directly to my pharmacy. Within 1 hour of calling I had my prescription and on the way to feeling better. Telemedicine Rocks!

It was the middle of the night and my son woke us up screaming because his ears were hurting. I called the 800 number and a Doctor called me back. He verified that he had double ear infections. A prescription was called in to a 24 hour pharmacy in our neighborhood. . All this happened within the comfort of our home in less than 2 hours from the time we called to the time we were able to go back to bed. What a blessing it is to have Teledoc. Thank you Teledoc for making our lives easier.

When my company told me that they were offering a new benefit – TeleMedicine – I didn't give it a second thought. Why would anybody want or need to call a doctor on the phone? Less than a week later, my son woke me up at 3:30 in the morning and told me that he hadn’t slept all night and thought that he was going to throw up. He seemed to have a fever and was crying, so I told him to get dressed and I’d take him to the Emergency Room at our local hospital. As I was getting ready to leave, I remembered the new service, and decided I had nothing to lose and called the number on the card they issued us. About 5 minutes after answering some questions about my son’s medical history, I spoke with a doctor who was… well… awesome! He was kind, seemed genuinely concerned, and listened to all that I had to say. But what really sold me was when he asked to speak with my son! After hearing my son answer a few simple questions and hearing him laugh, I knew I had found something precious. I have told all my friends, family and coworkers about this. TeleMedicine... who’d have thought it?

Thank you Md Consult/Teladoc for being there for me. I have chronic sinus infections. I had a hectic week coming up and could not get into to see my doctor. I called the hot line while at work and was able to get the prescription I needed. What an awesome service! I did not have to take time off work or reschedule meetings. I am so grateful that my employer offers this benefit to us.

I woke up feeling nauseous and achy. I knew the flu was going around, and called my PCP to get an appointment. After almost 10 minutes, the receptionist came back and said they’d have to call me. About a half hour later, she called back and said the doctor was slammed and to “tough it out” – that it was probably the flu – and call back in three days if I wasn’t feeling better. THREE DAYS! By noon, I felt like I was dying, and I decided to call the telemedicine service. Wow! I spoke to a doctor (not a receptionist) in 20 minutes. Yes, it probably was the flu, and she recommended some over-the-counter meds (that I already had in the house). The peace of mind, the advice (and saving the copay) were great. I’d recommend it to anybody!

I have to commute to work for almost 3 hours each way. If I want to go to my doctor it usually means taking the entire day off. When my summer allergies got to be more than I could bear I thought I would try the doctor by phone service that my wife signed up for. I always thought it was a good idea for the kids but now it seemed to be a great option for me. I went online and filled in my medical history and clicked to have a doctor call me back. After filling in my symptoms it only took about 15 minutes I was speaking to the doctor. He phoned in my usual inhaler and recommended an over the counter allergy med. (last season it was only available by prescription) I was able to pick up the meds at a pharmacy near my office during my lunch hour. All I could think is why didn’t I try this before as my family has been using this for a couple of years.
