"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."

—Doctor On Demand Patient

"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."

"It was fast and easy to do. I have had high blood pressure for over a year and never wanted to go to the doctor — I did my appointment from work.”
