Teladoc Health

THE At-Home Doc!

Comentarios: I’ve used the Teledoc app for minor sickness issues that can be easily addressed over the phone or by video. Once setup, it’s easy to initiate a call with a doctor and they’ve always been kind and understanding...and fairly quick to call too!

Puntos a favor:

Well the first thing I love is that it is now free with out insurance plan. That’s awesome and amazing! I also like that they have a quick response time. The app allows you to add photos if needed and you can even do a video chat with the doctor.

Contras:

It takes a little effort to setup your account. My biggest irritation is when receiving calls from the doctor, it will come from an unlisted number. If your iPhone security is set to ignore calls from unlisted numbers it can seriously delay your call until you fix your settings. Otherwise, the app works really well!

works pretty well

Comentarios: convenient for a quick easy script like im sure would be great for pink eye or a rash or decongestant or something small.

Puntos a favor:

not too hard to set up and use, if you have insurance the copay can be less than your standard office visit.

Contras:

no way of getting tests. the care is a bit limited. if you need a test, then I bet you have to pay twice

This place is a scam

Puntos a favor:

I love that Teladoc has an attractive website that makes you feel like they will be able to help.

Contras:

This place is a scam; I've had a few appointments where I'm trying to get very low-level medications, this time for high blood pressure. I have multiple devices to measure my blood pressure, and I have the data on my phone going back 8 years. The doctor said she couldn't prescribe a medication for the first time over Teladoc. The conversation was less than 2 minutes, and they refused to refund me "because the policy says there is no guarantee of getting medications."

Waste of time for Patients and Doctors

Puntos a favor:

The convenience to talk to a physician's exists, but the physicians are bound to TeleDoc's rules that essentially make them quite useless. It's good side income and you can do it while on call. Its a good box to check off by employers as they can say they offer free healthcare.

Contras:

They are there to talk and give you advice but nothing helpful. an easy google search will tell you the same.

Fast. Easy. Reliable.

Puntos a favor:

Ability to use it via the app or the website. Saves time, hassle, fuel, prevents spread of infection to others.

Contras:

Nothing I've noticed yet to complain about.
