Doctor On Demand 17+

Highly Recommend

I don’t often write app reviews but felt compelled to with this. I am an international flight attendant and this app is a game changer for me! If it had not been for Dr on Demand I would have had to find an urgent care center somewhere, wait hours in a room filled with other sick people and would’ve paid far more just to be told what I already intuitively know...that I have a head cold and an ear infection. These factors are what usually kept me from going to urgent care and getting the treatment I probably needed. Can you imagine being in a foreign country, not speaking the language, having to weather snow and ice on foot while you try to make your way to a hospital in a country where you don’t have insurance coverage, alone, only to have to trek back to your hotel and find the nearest pharmacy on the way? It’s a big deterrent. Now, with Dr on Demand, I can do it from the comfort of my hotel room and the app will locate the closest pharmacy. Today, this app and the wonderful doctor kept me from flying with a middle ear infection and risking potentially blowing an ear drum, which would have resulted in permanent hearing loss. I waited less than two minutes and the appointment probably only took five minutes. This is my new, most favorite health app! Everyone should download it and have it ready for when they need it.

Mostly pros. Minor cons…

This app is great if you can’t find someone in network near you with your insurance, or you don’t have insurance. You don’t have to go anywhere or wait forever for an appointment! You can be seen in under 5 minutes depending on the doctor and what time you need help. You can also see lots of different types of doctors. With that being said, my only cons to this app would be that if you want mental health from a psychiatrist, YOU CANNOT GET CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES FROM THESE DOCTORS!! So if you are on anti anxieties or something for ADHD, for example, they won’t be able to write you an RX. However, any other medication they can and will prescribe. My other only con would be the site/app itself, charging you for your appointment up front. Then if your insurance covers telehealth visits, you either have to wait to be reimbursed or figure out how to you’re getting your money back….it’s just a hassle to have to pay up front every time and then wait a month or longer to see what your insurance is going to do….Otherwise, this is way better than sitting in an office waiting area for however long, or having to take off work during normal 9-5ish hours, since a lot of these tele docs have later hours! This is NOT an ER, or anywhere for emergency care!!! Please don’t think it is!!! If you need stitches, you will need to see someone in person, and ASAP before you bleed out!!! Lol

Amazing as Always!!

Dr. Rachel Kennedy is AMAZING!! She listens to what you have to say and she incorporates your feelings and suggestions into your plan of care (as long as they are appropriate to the situation). Dr. Kennedy is very respectful of your feelings and she goes above and beyond to come up with the best treatment plan for your individual situation. My son is special needs and she is absolutely excellent with him and he loves her. Dr. Kennedy is a top notch physician and being a nurse myself for many years, there are not many physicians out there like her. Dr. Kennedy has ALL the qualities a great physician should have! Dr. Kennedy, thank you for being so wonderful to us! Thank you Doctors on Demand for providing this type of service. We live in a rural area and it is a drive for us to go to see a provider. This has taken a lot of the pressure off of us having to get ready, drive to the doctor’s office to be seen and having long wait times to be taken back to actually see the doctor, going to the pharmacy and so on. By the time we get home it turns out being an all day process. Having visits via telemedicine has eliminated almost all of that process and it still leaves us with the rest of the day to do the other things we are obligated to do! Again, thank you Dr. on Demand & Dr. Rachel Kennedy!!
