Terrible Doctors!

I used this app three times. Only one was a pleasant experience. The last two were terrible. The Doctor rushes through the call. They don’t listen to you, and sometimes even ignore your questions or statements. Each time I have asked for Doctors notes for work. Each doctor confirmed they would include one in my follow up message. The last 2 times I have had to get in touch customer service to get them. They have to get in touch with the doctor and it could take 24 hrs. It is hit or miss with customer service as well. Today I felt like I was being blown off. I asked to file a complaint against the doctor and the CSR just repeated my question and then asked if there was anything else. It would be a good service if they hired some doctors with better “bedside manner” and had an option to request a work/excuse when setting up the appointment.

Must have APP

I’m glad that we now have the option to do a Teledoc, especially now with the pandemic outbreak happening. The registration was fast and easy. The app is very easy and simply to navigate. The wait time can very but compared to driving to a clinic and waiting there in person, this was less than 30 minute wait time. I want to that Dr. Mali for talking to me and letting me know what I had and for taking the time from his schedule to be a doctor in TeleDoc. If it’s not an emergency, I would definitely recommend this app to anyone needing a doctor for non life threatening health issues.

Amazing Service

Our insurance at work just added teledoc to the plan. I set up everything thinking I would probably never use it because I usually just go to the doctor, but I have been battling with sinus infection which turned to an upper respiratory thing which I was letting run its course until I woke up with my eye glued shut and itchy and new it was pink eye. I scheduled an appointment. Uploaded a picture of my eye. The doctor called me exactly at the time scheduled. He asked about my symptoms and was very kind. He prescribed me eye drops based off everything. It was fast and easy! I am a big fan now!

First impressions not great

This review is only for the process of getting signed up, as I haven't had to use the services yet. While filling out my medical history, it asked for the specific date of my last doctor's appointment. Thankfully I'm in relatively good health and have no idea what the specific date was that I last went to the doctor. Because of this, I was unable to save the entire medical history that I had just filled out. It's all completely blank again now and I can't fill it in again until I somehow find out this specific date. Why you wouldn't allow the rest of the important information to be saved is beyond me, and the experience of wasting my time filling out a form that won't save has left me with a negative first impression of the app.

Worst healthcare experience

I had multiple mental health visits cancelled and consequentially ran out of a critical prescription. The second time my appointment got cancelled, I saw that it would be faster to get a prescription refill appointment with a general physician than get another mental health appointment so I tried that. I was charged the full amount for an appointment just for a doctor to tell me my prescription could not be refilled by her. It was a 30 second “doctor appointment.” Can you imagine? And when I spent an hour on different customer service lines, the result was a very terse email response that my request for that doctor visit to be refunded was denied. I’m without a prescription, have lost money, and have lost a good bit of sanity. Maybe they’re fine if you have a sinus infection but avoid at all costs for mental health.

Not useful at best, maddening at worst

Login process on desktop is not just hard to use, it is impossible to use. App is slightly better, but app organization is counter-intuitive. It seems like it was built from the perspective of someone who thinks they know patients, but haven’t systematically interviewed and aggregated patient opinions to form an impactful design strategy. They are in dire need of some serious design leadership, from the highest levels down. , , Tried two therapists. Both were inexperienced. Both shared too many personal details, as though they thought we were gal pals, and seemed at times unaware this was a professional relationship. , , Deleted the app with no plans to use it again - too bad I’m paying for it through my employer’s health plan. Not useful.

Needs UX improvement

Read the system messages CAREFULLY! The app will tell you you have an upcoming appointment at a certain time, but when you click details it’ll say nope the provider couldn’t accept your times. And then later, Teladoc will say your (non-existent) appointment was canceled because they couldn’t reach you?! Super confusing. Makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong?? I have shown up to my appointment time before, but I’m not allowed to enter the call because it doesn’t actually exist. No offense to the dev team, but does the Teladoc product team even test the app? So many glitches and usability issues. FaceId login is glitchy. The basics are there, it just needs work. A lot of reviewers’ frustrations seem to stem from bad UX/UI unfortunately.

Made My Symptoms Worse

I contacted Teladoc due to an allergy reaction that caused rushes on me. The doctor talked to me for 2 minutes on the phone and completed her prescription. I was thinking this is great because she sounded really confident that it’s not a big deal. However, after taking the medicine prescribed to me for one day, my symptoms have gotten much worse and I couldn’t sleep at night. I tried to message the doctor but never heard back from the clinic; I tried to call customer service but was told that there is nothing they can do - if I’m feeling worse I should either go to ER or book another appointment. First of all, if I want to go to a physical clinic/ER, why would I use Teladoc in the first place? Second of all, isn’t it too easy for them to make money off of patients by prescribing wrong medicine and ask patients to book another doctor through them and pay more?, , To conclude, this is the worst physician experience I’ve ever had, and they not only don’t take any responsibility for my symptoms getting WORSE after the visit and taking medicine as directed, they want me to just walk off with my symptoms or pay them more money. I’m not even sure if this is legal treatment of patients coming from them, but I would give negative stars if possible. Do not use their services if you want actual results.

Dumb ways to dieeee

I have strep throat. It is a disgusting and terrible illness that is easily treatable with the antibiotic. I went to Teladoc twice and explain to them that I had strep throat, a fever and burning ears there response to me, was to take Tylenol and a allergy decompression. I followed their instructions. My symptoms were sent and I contacted Teladoc again. They told me I didn’t meet the criteria for antibiotic. They accuse me of faking it then they had the audacity to question my confidence of my understanding. Six hours later, I was rushed to the ER, With 107 degree fever. Teladoc make sure to charge me for both appointments and the hospital. Make sure to charge my insurance for the full medical bill. The pharmacist only charged me $30 for the prescription. All of this was preventable. They could’ve asked to see my throat, they could have referred me get labs done. They didn’t now I’m left with 25% of a very egregious medical bill when all I need it was 30 of antibiotics.

They accuse me of faking it then they had the audacity to question my confidence of my understanding. Six hours later, I was rushed to the ER, With 107 degree fever. Teladoc make sure to charge me for both appointments and the hospital. Make sure to charge my insurance for the full medical bill. The pharmacist only charged me $30 for the prescription. All of this was preventable. They could’ve asked to see my throat, they could have referred me get labs done. They didn’t now I’m left with 25% of a very egregious medical bill when all I need it was 30 of antibiotics. ### Analysis: categories: Medical Treatment, Medical Treatment, Medical Treatment, aspects: Doctor Consultation, Accuracy of Diagnosis, Cost, sentiments: Negative, Negative, Negative )))

Danger! Medical malpractice

I called in to Teladoc because of my daughter’s pink eye. As any parent knows, that is a common occurrence with young kids. The doctor called in a prescription but we knew something was strange when his dosage information differed from every other time this happened. But that was not even the biggest issue we had., , When we called our local pharmacy, our pharmacist sounded worried and told us we should call our doctor back because there must be an error with the prescription. When we asked why he said an antibiotic IV solution had been prescribed and could cause serious and permanent eye injuries if used as a topical solution to treat pink eye., , When I called a Teladoc back they were less than helpful and to refused to refund the $25 consult fee for their mistake. Never ever trusting this service again.

Don’t waste your time or money

I have gotten bronchitis twice a year for the last 30 years. When I couldn’t get into my primary care physician I tried this app. When the doctor called me I described my relationship with bronchitis, my symptoms including uncontrollable coughing, tightness in chest, coughing up green stuff, etc. I told her which antibiotics work best when I get bronchitis. She seemed to hone in on post nasal drip, which I didn’t really have. I thought I had cleared that up, but when I went to the pharmacy to pick up the prescription there was no antibiotics. I spent 25 minutes on the phone with Teladoc explaining the situation and how I’ve never gotten cured from my bronchitis without antibiotics. In fact I suffer from nerve damage as a result of bronchitis that was not treated. They told me I had to wait an hour to get a phone call back. After more than an hour they called me back to tell me the doctor still will not prescribe antibiotics. I ask if I could speak to the doctor again and they said no. This was an absolutely terrible experience. Not only did I lose time off work, but now I have to go to a real doctor and pay another doctors office visit to be taken care of. I would never recommend this app to anyone! So disappointed! It’s a sham!!

Every expectation met

This app works wonderful! I needed antibiotics for a UTI and I live a long drive from any urgent care so I started searching and my insurance told me to try them and my insurance covered it! , I was able to set a time(an hour out) that worked for me, I was sent a ten minute reminder text and my doctor called me right on time. She was friendly, informative and sent a prescription for antibiotics to my pharmacist right away. , I will be telling people about you and thank you again!

Speed call?

I will never call this app again. Someone that I thought was a doctor called and was super rushed. There was a lot of noise/people in the background when he called. I explained I got an RX two-three wks ago but since it has gotten worse. He told me to go to dr office. The whole conversation was extremely rushed, and he wasn’t even listening to me. I had sent photos of my throat, and he mentioned nothing about seeing them. The whole call was just shady. I called back to talk to a rep because I wanted to know am I actually getting charged for that?! He did nothing for me? You have to be kidding. I asked if the rep could tell me if I would get charged again if I go to my dr office and he said “he wasn’t sure”. I asked if they refer it on to my regular dr’s office and he said no. I do not recommend calling this app! It’s a waste of time and money.

threw away 35$):

I have strep throat, I know what the symptoms of strep is and i’ve had it before so i’m very familiar with it. I think teladoc has certain requirements you have to reach in order for them to assist you. For example, I didn’t have contact with anyone who had strep, that I knew of at least. I also work at a call center which is a feeding freezing for passing along that good ol’ bacteria, I could have easily caught it from someone. So teladoc was unable to prescribe me antibiotics instead I was told to go to a clinic. I paid 35$ to talk to someone for 5 minutes (if that) via video call to tell me I have to go to the clinic. Don’t get me wrong in the terms and conditions it says you’re not guaranteed to be prescribed medication, but why else would I go to the doctor? Definitely not to be told that I should see a clinic as I already would have done that if teladoc wasn’t invented and saved the gas money.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Horrible service

Tested positive for Covid and was experiencing some pretty harsh symptoms. I attempted to open the app to speak with a health professional and kept receiving error messages about the server being down. I called and talked to a customer service representative, after what felt like a million prompts and questions from the Customer service representative, I was put on hold and then told that they were unable to help me because they had system issues. All together I loss approximately 1.5 hours of my time trying to get help, only to be hung up on and told try calling back later. I ended up reaching out to my primary care instead since the app or customer service refused to help. This is the dumbest most inefficient app on the market. I was so Sick and unable to get the help I needed. I hate you Teladoc and I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Very rough around the edges

The app is written to run only vertically on iPads. Most iPad users use their iPad in landscape mode, especially if they’re using it with a keyboard. When you’re signing up if you have to leave the app for any reason and you try to come back, it completely wipes everything you input and you have to start over. I tried to store the password in keychain and use Face ID. There’s no Face ID option from the login screen and the password didn’t get saved to keychain. I have spent the last hour trying to reset the password. It says the link is sent (this is the fourth time) - no link is received. Yes, I checked my spam. This app makes the experience more of a headache. Update: after I created my account somehow it got merged into the United HealthCare portal so now my account is in purgatory which means I can only access my account thru the United HealthCare portal which is already a train wreck and now when I want to do anything with my Teladoc app I have to call and have someone do everything for me like I’m a kid - nice going Teladoc! Will likely not be using this again.

SEEK HELP ANYWHERE ELSE !

Given this service two opportunities and both failed miserably. First attempt was seeking help with breathing issues, wasn’t able to schedule time so was subject to next available status. Was no indication that call would be from non-identifed number so the one (only one attempt) at reaching me went unanswered. Minutes later received email stating that 3 attempts were made to contact me and appointment was canceled. Still have call record showing only one call received. Second opportunity seeking help was informed that due to high volume could be wait time for appointment but still given “you will receive a call in approx. 10 minutes. Checking the app as it updated status after waiting over and hour, indicated Dr Tariq Sahir is reviewing medical file will contact you shortly. Checking app status again within next 10 minutes was put back into queue awaiting response and received email stating “provider attempted to contact you for further information and was unable to reach you”. NO CALL ever received, no missed call shown, no attempt was made to contact me. This is highly unethical and dangerous for people relying on this company with fraudulent and unreliable conduct. They should be investigated and held responsible for endangering those seeking medical assistance. Please seek help somewhere else. God Bless you.

Completely useless- Don’t even bother

Everybody knows how much problems and restrictions we have when it comes to the health coverage system. They made an app which was even advertised by my health insurance coverage provider but all I could do was register myself with a GP for a phone visit while I was trying to get contact with a dermatologist. I did everything I could on line and also I called and talked to an agent over the phone but I am so sorry that I just found, I wasted my time on a product which is never meant to work., We have a long way to go to get close to where most of European countries are standing., My best advice is, don’t even bother using this app and instead try to see a real person even if you have insurance because this app is not structured well enough.

Very Satisfied aside from one “Bad-Egg” Doc

This service has been such a convenience for my family. With a young baby, it has been so nice to be able to use Teledoc as opposed to packing a baby with us to our own doctor’s appointments. We have also used Teledoc on weekends when our doctor’s office was not open and while on vacation in another state- each time free of charge, amazing!! Our only issue was getting a doctor once whose lack of listening and problem-identification skills meant we had to advocate strongly for ourselves in order to get appropriate care. This seems to have been a fluke, however, and without this encounter, we would have given Teledoc 5 stars.

Complete Nightmare

Being sick and trying to set up an account was a nightmare. I was going through the registration process and every time I had to leave the app to check informartion for the registration, it would re-start the registration. i had to go through it 5 times. Then I got the call from the Doctor which went very well but cost 3 times more because they couldn’t check my insurance information. Then my pharmacy never received my prescription and I’ve been for almost an hour on the phone to try to speak with someone who could solve my problem, the people who talked to me were nice but kept transfering me until the point where the only thing I could do was leave a message and hope that someone calls me back. This has been a complete nightmare for someone being sick. I will never use this app ever again.

Worst experience

It took 25 minutes to get my daughter set up. She’s 2 with an ear infection. I thought Teledoc would be better than trying to get ahold of the pediatrician on call. I am a mother of 2 that works full time that does not have time for this. An unknown number calls while I’m speaking with customer service and asks if I’m my daughter. They cannot speak with me because they are not a pediatrician. 15 minutes later, same deal, they think I’m my daughter and cannot speak with me. 2 doctors were given the wrong information. I called customer service again (mind You my daughter is screaming), they put the wrong birthday in. It gets corrected, I get a call from a 855 number 10 minutes later... they had to confirm the birthday, again. It’s 7pm and I have not heard from anyone. Our pharmacy closes in 2 hours. We will not be using Teledoc again.

Don’t Do It

Worst experience ever. I have used telahealth options through previous providers and I have always had great results. I also understand that not everything can be treated over the phone. But the treatment I received here unacceptable. Doctors should not be able to charge patients just to tell them 2 min in the conversation to call back for a diagnosis. Then you call back just to hear, sorry our doctors are not always able to diagnose or treat people over the phone. Go somewhere else. I guess I learned my expensive lesson. My insurance already doesn’t cover anything. How did we end up here? Free healthcare to all is sounding pretty good right now. They say you can’t get in to see anyone with that kind of system. Sounds like the same care to me. Only with this system I’m broke.

The best thing since sliced bread!!!!

This service is the MOST AMAZING service I’ve ever experienced! The fact that you can visit with a dr and have the medical expertise (in some situations) without going to the Drs office is wonderful!! I set up a call for an earache. Within 5 minutes, (faster than the app said it would be) I was speaking to a dr. The dr was so nice and polite, and went through some things for me to do to my ear to find out what kind of earache we were dealing with. Also very informative about what to expect, and what to do if I didn’t get better!! There was no waiting room, no chance of spreading germs, and it was on MY time! It was determined I have an outer ear infection and the dr called in some ear drops! Simple, easy, effective. Also I’ve used the service for a rash before and it was the same super pleasant experience! The rash happened to my son on vacation on New Years Eve!! There would be NO WAY for me to see anyone in that instance, but thanks to TELADOC, I was able to get my kid well!! I definitely recommend this for everyone!!! Plus it worked with my Insurance!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼, ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️, Wish I could give it 20 stars!!!

Unprofessional

Scheduled a video visit with a therapist 4 days in advance. With suggested reschedule days and times as well. Everything seemed to have been confirmed. Until about 25 minutes prior to my scheduled video visit, I get a message saying the therapist could not confirm our appointment. Super disappointing as I canceled other plans for this appointment and was looking forward to it. UPDATE 6/26: have now scheduled an appointment three times with three different providers. All adhering to the providers listed dates and times of availability. And each of them have canceled the appointment with less than an hours notice. With no further explanation. Only using this app because it is what my insurance providers go through. However, feels like an entire waste of time and energy. Not to mention, added stress onto someone already trying to address their own mental health issues.

Cant get help

The idea of this app is great but too easily can people not get the help they need and still lose a good chunk of money. I am extremely poor without insurance and got sick with something i have already had before, i had all the medication that my last doctor prescribed for me. Was just hoping to get the medication so i could go back to work and instead was told nothing can be done. Must have been less then 2 minutes before the call was over and i officially can not go to any other health provider now because my 2 minute consult could not prescribe me an antibiotic and they didn’t even wait to find out the other health problems i needed addressed. I am disappointed and now i have to suffer for two weeks till i can take my meager pay check and spend the entire thing for my visit. , 2 minute consult costs me $75 and i get no help or meds. And the doctor didnt even look inviting or happy when i saw them. I will never use this app again.

This is the future!

I’ll start by saying , I DONT GO TO THE DOCTOR! I have a 12 year old and running around with her and the million things that come with having kids I don’t have time to cry I’m not feeling well , , She came back positive for strep throat 5 days ago and I thought , I had been spared but it caught me ! because of COVID I’m definitely not going to a dr I’ve never been to before , in a place where everyone else is there because they are sick , I’ll leave with something worse than I came in with !! someone told me to callTeladoc and I can’t express how easy it was within ten min I was off the phone and done scripts sent !!! , Super fast , super easy and no risk to any other viruses!! if I knew this existed , I wouldn’t have suffered all these years , , My only complaint would be the doctor was absolutely gorgeous on FaceTime, and I prefer my introduction to super hot doctors to be while I don’t look like I crawled out of a cave to die , so 4 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Very frustrating and disappointing

I had a 10:00am visit scheduled and after 30 minutes, the doctor did not join the call, so I called the customer service line. The rep said she sent a note to “nudge” the doctor to join the visit. After 45 minutes of waiting for the doctor to join I called the customer service line again and was told that I should wait at least an hour online and there’s nothing they could do. After waiting for an hour and a half I finally disconnected. I called customer service again and they told me they have no way of connecting me with the doctor and no way to get my Rx refilled. I was told I should call back customer service again to see if they can help me. I had no way to follow up or contact my doctor. I’ve used Doctor on Demand for four years and providers were always prompt and a Doctor on Demand nurse always coordinated all communication. Teledoc is very frustrating and disappointing.

Subpar

I have attempted to use this 3 times, once the dr called because she couldn’t hear me in the app. I have an iPhone X up to date. Microphone turned on so I am not sure what the deal was. The second time calling for the same issue a week later, this other dr proceeds to just stare at me for 2 mins while I sneezed and coughed then hangs up with an email saying they couldn’t reach me. So now I call on the customer service line I hold for 30 mins because the system can’t understand me because I am coughing and sneezing. Only to be hung up on again. I am very frustrated because I know medical practitioners are overwhelmed and I shouldn’t go out there to put a burden on them when a tool like this is available. Why will you closed out a patient after 2 mins of waiting without trying to other means of contact. I find it crazy that there is no other way to test that a system is working other than check that your microphone is working. I have a had 5 appts this month as tele appts obviously my phone works. I work from my phone. Is the app faulty? do your practitioners needs more training? Maybe I need a chill pill? I have chills, I am coughing, sneezing and my head feels like it’s in pressure cooker so I don’t know....... I guess free Teladoc visits can whatever!

Pointless. Basically terminated my account for using the app. I’m very serious. It’s a joke.

Teladoc was great at first. I used them for awhile and never had any problems the first few times then every other time I would request a work note they would tell me that they would include it in the message but yet it wasn’t so I had to set up another visit and pay another $25 just to request a work note from the next doctor. That happened more then 3 times. The biggest part that didn’t make any sense to me was that they terminated my account because I didn’t have any in-person visits with a primary doctor, I don’t have a primary doctor haven’t had one since I was a child. The whole point of the app and service was to use it if you weren’t able to meet a doctor in person .. that is why I rate it 2 stars other wise it would have been 4 if they didn’t terminate my account. It’s too difficult for me to take time out of my work schedule to go sit in a doctors office for 1-3 hours smh. Looks like I have no other choice now thanks to Teladoc!

Terrible First (And Last) Experience

Heard good things about this from other coworkers. Decided to give it a try when I had an immediate need for care (non-emergency). Thought this would be an easy way to connect with a doctor quick instead of maybe having to wait a day to get in to an actual doctors office. Submitted my request and waited around the house for an hour or two..no response. Went about my day. After 6 hours passed, still no call or message, I contacted customer support for a refund. I get things happen, but for touting a service that hinges on quick response it was a fail. I’d give it one star if it weren’t for the good customer service I received and actually quickly receiving the refund. Won’t be trying this again, will take my chances at the normal doctors office.

Worked for me

Got denied at urgent care bc my insurance couldn’t be confirmed and called my insurance company to learn about this app. Was contacted by a doctor within 30 minutes and got a prescription after a quick but thorough conversation. , , For me this is amazing bc I would have had to wait till Monday possibly even later to see my primary care doctor. I had a UTI so I think my diagnosis was pretty straight forward but it makes sense that sometimes you really do need to see a doctor in person. , , I think this app is a great option if you can’t make it to urgent care and have obvious symptoms for common illnesses. But maybe confirm your copay before putting in a request bc you’ll double pay if you have to go to a doctors office.

extremely easy way to get behavioral health care

I've been using Teladoc services for the past few months for behavioral health medication. My psychiatrist through Teladoc is wonderful. She is always very kind and listens. She has been patient with me as we worked on getting the right combination of medication for depression and anxiety. When I end the visit with her, I am always very clear on the plan ahead. She always takes time to review what, if any, medication changes we made at the last visit. I am one that gets anxiety having to go into appointments so being able to use Teladoc it's not only very convenient for me, but no I have no anxiety prior to my appointment. thank you, Dr. P.

VERY FRUSTRATING SYSTEM!

If you ever want to contact your doctor for any reason other than to schedule an appointment, DO NOT use Teledoc. You literally cannot get your doctor’s phone number, email address, or any other contact information. The doctor can’t even tell you in what state they work. I experienced an issue with my prescription and had the most frustrating experience!! I had to request an appointment (which is the only thing a patient can do), but the doctor didn’t know if my request was due to an urgent issue like I need critical meds ASAP or if I am simply requesting an appointment for a routine issue. Also, I’ve had two appointments where the doctor was running behind due to medical emergencies, and I just sat online waiting for the doctor to show. It’s not as if there’s a receptionist to tell you the doctor is behind. So, I just sat there for 20 minutes then logged off. Complete waste of time!! So, I had to set another appointment. So incredibly frustrating!!!

Phone call is the way

In recently reviewed the app with 1 star only because it took 3 day for a video call that never happened. Apologies and cancellations because of this pandemia and the long wait. , I just change the way of the visit and made it thru a phone call and it was almost instant call. Not even 5 minutes. Dr Thomas was respectfully and took time to listen to me and diagnose after all the pictures and symptoms a Streptococcus throat. Medication is been processed in my pharmacy and that is the reason I will update to 5 start. THANK YOU

Frustratingly unresponsive

The app is absolutely a nightmare to use. It’s unresponsive and buggy. Each screen and step takes ages to load and it was not due to internet issues, as it was consistently an issue at home, office, coffee shop. The buttons don’t work and every single time I login to check my messages after a televisit, the app prompted me to log out and back in again. I did this numerous times to no avail and still have not been able to access my secure messages. It may honestly have been quicker to have visited an urgent care near me and see a provider in person. , , I thought it was just a buggy app but I attempted to use the website for a visit and was met with similarly atrocious wait times for loading and was in fact unable to successfully upload any photos for my visit. , It’s a great idea to have a convenient little app to put you in touch with medical providers without having to make an appointment with your physician or deal with wait times at a medical office or urgent care. However, the UI is in need of much work to provide a functional experience for users/patients. I hope these issues get resolved soon.

They don’t really help you

I’ve used this app twice when I was sick. Both times they gave me recommendations for over the counter medicine to help with symptoms. I ended up going into the clinic the first time I used them and they gave me antibiotics and steroids. I used them again today and was given the same advice of over the counter medicine to deal with symptoms. They offered to call in a nasal spray for symptoms because I have a sinus infection. But it won’t clear the infection, just will help with the symptoms caused by it. It’s a huge waste of time and money to have a doctors appointment when your sick for them to tell you to take over the counter meds for symptoms until your body fights it off on it’s own. I won’t use this app or service again. I will also dispute their charges with my insurance company.

SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!

Your doctor told me he could not help me and told me I needed to go to an actual doctor at a doctors office. Why was I not screened by someone to Review my situation to determine your app could not help me before I’m forced to pay. We should not be forced to pay prior to evaluating what the issue is by a front desk person screening ppl that you cannot actually help. I feel like I was mugged by you while I waited in your virtual doctors office when the doctor said their was nothing he could do to assist me and my situation. This app is useless if you do not evaluate the problem prior to forcing us to pay. This is flat out Robbery if your doctor is simply going to tell me to go to a doctors office and that they can’t help me thru your app. Furthermore my doctor thought I should have my money refunded to me since you did not screen my situation prior to my payment. Please return my money.

A waste of time and money. A complete scam.

They will charge you $70 for 30 seconds on the phone with a “doctor” only for that “doctor” to tell you they don’t offer what you need. Because you spoke to a “doctor” they won’t provide a refund, despite the fact that the services are not clearly outlined on their website and they don’t request enough information to schedule the appointment to prevent you from moving forward. Other services I found after the fact ask enough intake questions to determine if they can help you BEFORE charging you., I called to ask for a refund and the customer service rep admitted they don’t clearly outline what they offer, but they don’t provide refunds. , Check out their BBB complaints…

They won’t provide a sick note

While the app, medical care, and customer service are great, the physician refused to provide a work note (for one day) because I was not running a fever. She said it was a new policy and employers were “catching on”...implying that I was simply attempting to get out of work. She suggested that I simply “speak to my employer” about why I was out and “hopefully they will understand.” I’m an RN and I work at a huge community hospital. I can assure you they don’t care why I’m out and, because it’s a weekend night, I will accumulate double the points for being absent. This forced me to get dressed, drive to the clinic, sit in a waiting room with a dozen flu patients, and pay triple the cost (after already paying for the Teledoc call) simply to acquire a sick note (which they gave me with no hesitation whatsoever). This practice is redundant, expensive, and completely unnecessary. I gave Teledoc 3 stars (although I’m admittedly irritated) because they are a great service. But if you need a sick note, don’t waste your time. Not cool, Teledoc. I really hope you reevaluate your new policy.

Great medical service via remote

Ok, it is basically a remote chatting and face time with a doctor- didn’t have a much of expectation from the beginning. My kid fell down and cut his chin (clean-deep cut about 1-2 cm) while running on hotel gym. 1000 miles away from home and didn’t know where to go for an urgent care at night time. While researching nearby care facilities through my insurance provider’s website, there was Teladoc option caught my eye. I set up the app real quick and completed “registration”- took me about 10 min., Connected to a local doctor after about another 10 min. of waiting in a queue, ( I didn’t expect a doctor standing by next to his/ her iPhone during dinner time, therefore 10 min wait is totally acceptable)., She took a look the wound area and provided series of advices. Since the doctor received all of the patient information from the app, she immediately realized that we are from out of town and visiting the city. , The doctor we connected gave us an assurance that no emergency nor urgent care visit is required, but offered the contact info of closest urgent care clinic near my hotel just in case for next morning. , , Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of care from the doctor and entire process. It is worth every $$ I paid for the “virtual visit”.

### USER: Great medical service via remote: Ok, it is basically a remote chatting and face time with a doctor- didn’t have a much of expectation from the beginning. My kid fell down and cut his chin (clean-deep cut about 1-2 cm) while running on hotel gym. 1000 miles away from home and didn’t know where to go for an urgent care at night time. While researching nearby care facilities through my insurance provider’s website, there was Teladoc option caught my eye. I set up the app real quick and completed “registration”- took me about 10 min., Connected to a local doctor after about another 10 min. of waiting in a queue, ( I didn’t expect a doctor standing by next to his/ her iPhone during dinner time, therefore 10 min wait is totally acceptable)., She took a look the wound area and provided series of advices. Since the doctor received all of the patient information from the app, she immediately realized that we are from out of town and visiting the city. , The doctor we connected gave us an assurance that no emergency nor urgent care visit is required, but offered the contact info of closest urgent care clinic near my hotel just in case for next morning. , , Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of care from the doctor and entire process. It is worth every $$ I paid for the “virtual visit”. ### ASSISTANT: Medical - Service - positive, Medical - Wait time - positive, Medical - Doctor's expertise - positive, Medical - Responsiveness - positive )))

I didn’t have to miss work.

I was looking forward to working the OT I signed up for, but work up with a horrible sore throat, and knew I would need to get to urgent care as soon as they opened. I was sooooo thankful when I found out my insurance covers this app! I worked my OT, and took a break for a few mins to have my appt, received a Dr’s note just in case, and by the time my shift was over my meds were ready to pick up. The provider was so sweet, such wonderful virtual bedside manners. I immediately recommended it to my co-workers 🤍
