"This is a very cool service - the Dr. was outstanding and took time to ensure I understood what was really going on and the purpose of the treatment.   She also added advice for OTC meds to avoid due to my hypertension."

"I lost my insurance when I was laid off and felt helpless when a trip to Rite Aid, after using their blood pressure machine I was told to seek medical help immediately. With money tight now I could not afford to see a doctor and came across this app a month later. It was a god sent. I now have medication waiting to be picked up at the pharmacy and lab work scheduled with a follow-up with the same Dr. in 2 weeks. Great app and Dr's."
