In the last year I have changed many things about my lifestyle in order to be the healthiest version of me that I can be. However one thing has remained… my dislike for going to the doctor. I know it sounds crazy for me to say I am focused on health and then say in the very next sentence that I do not like to go to the doctor, but it is true. There is just something about doctors’ offices that makes me uncomfortable.
Not to mention having to load up the kids to go and praying they won’t be exposed to something in the waiting room. I have found that I often stress myself out so much in the waiting room that I feel more sick than I did to start with. Or even worse, I go through all of that – only to find out it is a virus that can not be treated and I just need to rest and wait it out.
Thankfully I have discovered Amwell – the nation’s largest telehealth company, connecting users with board-certified, licensed doctors, dietitians and psychologists for immediate and live, online visits—day or night, on either mobile or desktop. In a matter of seconds I can log in, and be face to face with a medical professional who can help answer any of my health needs – including when it is time to actually go to the doctor for treatment.
I especially love Amwell when my kids aren’t feeling well. I can let my little girl continue to rest while I find out whether it’s necessary to head out to the local doctor or not.
Even better, Amwell physicians are available 24/7 – without the need for an appointment! It is like having a doctor best friend that you can call on any time! And speaking of best friend – everyone I have ever spoken to has been super friendly, and eager to help – even in the wee hours of the morning.
To speak to a physician at Amwell all you need to do is choose the type of visit you are looking for – medical, nutrition, psychological, etc – and then choose from the list of providers online. In seconds you will be connected and face to face with your doctor. Depending on the issue at hand, the doctor can diagnose, suggest follow up, and prescribe, when appropriate.
Amwell takes your privacy very seriously and your visit with the doctor is secure and HIPAA compliant. You can get your questions answered privately and securely, right in the comfort of your own home – often for even less than a standard doctors visit.
I am excited to offer all of my readers a one time code to check out Amwell for only $1 by using the code TELEVISIT29 so you can see how simple and effective using a service like Amwell can really be. You can think of Amwell as the “Amazon of health care” – offering all of your medical needs right at the end of your finger tips. Even the Wall Street Journal loves Amwell, and believes that Telemedicine is transforming today’s health care system!
Making your health a priority is one of the best things you can do – for yourself and your loved ones. Amwell can make keeping your health a priority with doctors you need on call 24/7. Check out Amwell today and let me know what you think of this amazing service!
This a great project. Thanks.
I am going to have to remember this! I think it is a good idea to get a doctor visit at home and it will be so much cheaper. This is a great service!
This is such a convenient service! I absolutely hate waiting in waiting rooms being exposed to a million other different illnesses.
Usually when someone needs a doctor, they don’t feel like getting ready and leaving the house; this is a wonderful idea.
I think this service is fantastic! I think my elderly parents could really benefit from this service.
This is a great idea, especially for those without transport.
This is such a great idea and a lot cheaper than a visit.
I’ll have to keep this in mind for the future! Great post!
This is a great service- especially for those that have a hard time getting around.
This would be great for parents and for people who live in rural areas.
That’s so convenient!!
I like the idea of the convenience and less exposure to additional germs but after having my child misdiagnosed in person it makes me wonder how accurate it would be at a distance.
This is very interesting would be great to have.Thanks for sharing this with us
