A Doctor At Your Fingertips

Do you like waiting in a doctor's room with sick, antsy kids (and those kids might not even be your own)? Wouldn't it be nice to have a caring doctor available from wherever you are - at home, on vacation, or a friend's house? 

Telemedicine is the way to go in order to have the convenience of your location plus the expertise of a board certified doctor at your beck and call.

Our fave Board Certified Pediatrician, Dr. Deepa Sukumar, weighs in on the benefits of telemedicine and some "do you know?" facts.

• *Almost 75% of all doctor, urgent care visits, and ER visits could be handled safely and effectively over phone or video for only a small fraction of the cost
• 
  
• *21% of patients studied said not having to travel to the doctor's visit was the top benefit of telemedicine. When you see your doctor on a mobile device or computer, you save money on gas, parking, and public transportation. Even better, you don't waste time traveling or risk running into a traffic jam that makes you late for appointments
• 
  
• *20% of surveyed patients said the ability to be cared for from their homes was telemedicine's top benefit. Children are examined in the comfort of their room, and so they are not physician anxious
• 
  
• *84 % of surveyed patients would prefer to use a telemedicine service than go to an Emergency Room

        *wait times for a telemedicine visit are significantly shorter than the             average doctor's visit

• 
  
• *Like all technology in the healthcare space, telemedicine solutions are always HIPAA compliant to protect the privacy of the patients.
• 
  
• *Telemedicine makes it easier and more convenient for patients to stay healthy and engaged in healthcare with the added benefit to chat with their physician post-visit too.
  
• 
  
• *Patients love the convenience, flexibility, and real-time care with their providers. Scheduling an appointment and see a doctor happens in a matter of 5 - 10 minutes. 
• 
  
• *Telemedicine can expand the number of specialists available to you, especially if you live in a remote area.
• 
  
• *By doing a visit from home, you get the care you need while avoiding exposure to illness in crowded waiting rooms.
