Tele-Med (TelaDoc and Tiered Pharmacy)
"One night my 12 year old son had an upset stomach and vomited a couple of times. I considered taking him to the emergency room but, instead of waking up my other children and dragging them to the hospital, I called TelaDoc. Within 30 minutes I was on the phone with a doctor. After asking a battery of questions, the doctor suggested fluids, rest and a call to my doctor in the morning. I'm thankful that I avoided the time and expense of going to the ER."— Mary (Mother)
"I don't have time for doctors if it's not an emergency. One day I was on a business trip, and needed some medicine. I was completely miserable. I called TelaDoc. The doctor recommended antibiotics and phoned in a prescription to a pharmacy near my hotel. By morning I was feeling much better and didn’t miss the important meeting."— Cheryl (Business Executive)
"I was driving to a meeting and felt an odd numbness in my left foot. I called from the road. About 15 minutes later I was on the phone with the doctor. He asked me some questions and immediately advised that I turn around and proceed to the emergency room. He was sure I was having a stroke. The emergency room doc agreed and indicated there was a blood clot in my foot. 30 minutes more and I might have died. I am so thankful I called!"— Nelson (Businessman)
