Doctor on Demand is a virtual visit with a team of healthcare providers, some of them might even be local to your area. This service gives you access to medical doctors practically everyday of the year with one set fee for medical visits. The cost is a similar to a standard copay, but they may take your insurance as well.

The app is a very convenient way to help with common ailments such as urinary tract infections, skin and eye issues, and minor sports injuries. You can also ease your mind with some of the more worrisome concerns that can sometimes lead to trips to the emergency room simply because you cannot get to your doctor in a timely manner.

To get started with this service, users can download the app for the iOS or Android devices. Simply register, request a doctor and meet with a healthcare provider using your smart phone or tablet. You can also login on their easy to use website at www.doctorondemand.com. Within the app users can easily access the portal where they can find a print out of the items discussed in their visit which includes possible symptoms to look for. Lab Tests, messages, and documents like excuse notes can all be found in the portal as well. Your favorite providers can also be easily located so that you can schedule future visits with ease.

Along with your initial consultation for the diagnosis of symptoms, users can also contact Doctor on Demand after any lab results, which is a useful and inexpensive way to get a second opinion on a diagnosis.

Physicians for Doctor on Demand are all board-certified. They have been screened and trained to assure they are well qualified to provide online medical care, receiving training in over 200 clinical protocols. They conduct regular peer reviews and collect client feedback as well. Doctor on Demand is a great alternative to your standard doctor visit where you physically have to go in to be treated or receive a prescription. With Doctor on Demand your whole family can be scheduled to see the doctor that best suits their needs. These doctors can also handle non-urgent issues like head lice, poison ivy or rashes. There are also lactation consultants for mothers experiencing breastfeeding-related issues.

We know that kids often have accidents or illnesses that strike after hours. In addition to medical assistance, there are psychologists and psychiatrists you can schedule appointments with for online therapy. These counselors treat depression, addictions, social anxiety, trauma and workplace stress as well as social issues. Like medical physicians, the counselors and psychiatrists can prescribe medication.

Neither the doctors nor the counselors handle emergency situations. They cannot replace a true ER or a suicide hotline.

For non-emergency medical care, pediatric appointments and mental health help, Doctor on Demand can connect you with a qualified and certified medical professional.

This is a great app/service for everyone, but could really help those with limited mobility. It could also help patients who are working to gain independence as they transition to adulthood.
