Our patients, too
I had a telemedicine consultation for my 91-year-old father since his regular doctor was unavailable. Everything went perfectly! The pharmacy staff were there to assist and guide him. A big thank you to them for their helpfulness and kindness. I highly recommend them.
This is really handy when your doctor isn't available for another week and you're coughing like crazy. The doctor on the line is friendly and attentive. The paperwork is simple, and you just stop by the pharmacy counter to pick up your medication.
First-time experience. Super-fast connection. A doctor who really listens. Truly efficient, easy, and fast.
After waiting a few minutes, the appointment began. They have several machines for measuring blood pressure, temperature, and so on. The doctor explains things very clearly. The prescription is printed out just a few seconds after the appointment, and since we’re already at the pharmacy, we can pick it up right away. Very satisfied.
An excellent solution in case of an emergency or if your regular doctor is unavailable. Fast, efficient, and effective! The examination room is clean and sanitized after each patient. The pharmacy staff is welcoming and ready to help at any time.
Great telemedicine service. While on vacation in the area, I couldn't find a general practitioner who was accepting new patients. This solution is simple, fast, and effective. Plus, the staff at this pharmacy are very friendly, smiling, and helpful.
The system allows the doctor to examine you using connected devices. He was able to examine my ears with a video otoscope and quickly gave his diagnosis. Only a 15-minute wait and very simple paperwork. I highly recommend it.
I haven't had a primary care physician for a long time, so this is the second time I've used a telemedicine service, and I've been satisfied both times. Prescriptions are sent directly to the pharmacy. You can get an appointment the same day, and the online doctors are responsive. I highly recommend it.
