Doctor On Demand ...My experience...Giveaway

***This is a sponsored post/conversation on behalf of Doctor On Demand. All opinions are my own.***

I had an opportunity to try out the Doctor On Demand app. The app itself is free and you can download it from iTunes or Google Play.  I was a little skeptical to try this out as how could a doctor help me or my family via an app?

• All doctors are US licensed and board certified
• Cost is $40 (sometimes cheaper then co-pays)
• All doctors are background checked before joining Doctor on Demand
• Real time with or with out video
• Dr. Phil is an adviser and his son Jay McGraw is co-founder of this app

I chose to speak with one of their doctors about my migraine that I woke up with on July 4th. The app asks you a few questions such as who is this visit for, what are the issue(s), current medications and your basic demographics.

 It then gives you a general wait time and what number you are in line. I waited about 5 minutes. Not bad for a holiday!

I was then connected to one of their doctors who made sure that I could hear him properly. I did this through my cell phone.

(the above was not my doctor but the screen was the same)



The doctor verified the things I had submitted and asked for a little background.  Not once did I feel rushed or like an inconvenience to my doctor. He was very professional, nice and knowledgeable. I even learned some new things about my migraines and the medications I take for them that I did not previously know. It was great! I tend to have random health things a lot so this was very convenient.



At the end of our "visit" he made sure I understood what we talked about and if I needed anything else. Once the session was closed I was asked to rate and review my doctor. You are also given the option to favorite a doctor for future reference if they are available.



I had a great experience and would in fact use it again. Mind you this is not for any life threatening uses or serious injuries. 911 is always best for that.

Some common uses are:

• Upper Respiratory Infection
• Cold
• Cough
• Influenza
• Nasal Congestion
• Lab Interpretation
• Allergies
• Fever

Please visit their website for more information about appropriate and not appropriate uses.
