Real patient outcomes from virtual doctor appointments
I was surprised because I had tried this app out before and the doctor wouldn't prescibe me medication(birth control) for the first time because I was having issues with my cycle. I tried it again months later and the doctor I was chatting with put me on a 28 day pack of birth control. I was shocked that it worked this time and it was easy. I have to follow up after the 28 days but lord knows I can't afford this app so im hoping my real family doctor can get me refills if this works.

As described. Great for those without insurance or if you're just sick of the traditional US model of care. Edit: Ignore the reviews complaining bout price. If you read the details of the sub, the fee structure is clearly stated. I paid $75 for the qtr and have had several chat consults and multiple labs. The conditions they treat are the same as any virtual visit with a normal Dr, it has nothing to do with them being local or not.!!

I was incredibly ill and reached out to your doctor to get a script for anti biotics. Due to my symptoms being so severe the first dr told me to go to the ER however, my insurance didn't cover the visit so I reached out again asking for anything to help me over come what I had at home and that it was a last resort. The 2nd dr I spoke to again said that I should visit the ER, and when I explained my situation prescribed me a week's worth of antibiotics and I was able to go into the pharmacy to get them. The experience was good and I would definitely recommend this app and service to anyone.

First time I have used something like this because I am in a tough situation with no insurance. The Dr. was amazing and super quick. I definitely will be using this again for anything I need!!
~Taylor LRo App Store
YourDoctors definitely beats sitting in outpatients for hours upon hours! I just submitted my symptoms and went about my life until I got a message asking me to return to the app for a consultation. Dr. Ahmed Kamal was pleasant, competent, and even wished me a happy birthday. He faxed my prescription so that the pharmacy has it when they open. Highly recommend!
~Rownx App Store
Amazing medical app with followup requests from the doctors you speak to. They recommended when we should go to the hospital for birth aswell as the correct diagnosis of an infection. Overall fantastic.

Frequently asked questions about online doctor visits in California
What is Your Doctors Online?
Your Doctors Online is a 24/7 virtual clinic that connects you with licensed doctors through secure chat, audio, or video. You can get medical advice, prescriptions, lab requisitions, and doctor’s notes from your phone or computer—without going to a walk-in clinic.
How fast can I talk to a doctor in California?
Very fast. Our goal is to connect you to our California clinical team in under a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The connection is less than 30 seconds, and there is no need to book days or weeks in advance.
Are your doctors licensed in California?
Yes. All supervising physicians on Your Doctors Online are fully licensed in California. They follow the same standards of care as in-person clinics and must comply with their provincial or state medical college or board.
What kind of issues can you help with?
We can help with most concerns you’d normally bring to a family doctor or walk-in clinic, such as:
- Cough, cold, flu, fever
- UTIs and other infections
- Skin issues (rashes, acne, sores)
- Stomach problems (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation)
- Allergies
- Mild mental health concerns (anxiety, low mood)
- Medication questions, refills, and side effects
If we can’t safely manage your condition online, we’ll tell you and advise where to go next.
When should I not use Your Doctors Online?
We’re not for emergencies. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you have:
- Chest pain or trouble breathing
- Signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty)
- Severe injury or major bleeding
- Sudden, severe pain
- Thoughts of self-harm or harming others
We also don’t prescribe controlled substances (like narcotics or benzodiazepines) and may redirect you to in-person care when needed.
Can you prescribe medications in California?
Yes. Doctors on our platform can prescribe most medications in California when it’s medically appropriate. Prescriptions are sent directly to your preferred pharmacy, and in many cases you can also get home delivery, depending on local pharmacy options. We do not prescribe controlled substances (for example, narcotics, opioids, or certain stimulant medications).
Can I get a doctor’s note online in California?
Yes. If the doctor determines it’s appropriate, they can provide digital notes (e.g., for work or school) in California. You’ll receive a PDF with the doctor’s name, license details, and contact information that you can download or share.
Can you order lab tests and imaging in California?
Yes. Doctors can provide lab requisitions (e.g., for bloodwork, urine tests, some imaging like X-rays or ultrasounds) in California when medically indicated. You take the requisition to a local lab or imaging center, and the results are sent back to be reviewed with you.
Can you see my children or other family members?
Yes. With our family-friendly plans, you can use your account to get care for yourself and eligible family members (for example, your children or spouse) as allowed by your plan. You’ll be able to choose who the visit is for when you start a consultation.
Is my information private and secure?
Yes. Your privacy is a top priority. As a HIPAA-compliant platform, we use strong encryption to store your data securely in compliance with U.S. healthcare privacy laws. Your health information is never shared with employers or third parties without your consent, except where required by law or for your care (for example, sending prescriptions or lab orders).
Can insurance plans cover telemedicine services?
Not always. While insurance coverage is available for many services, not all benefits are covered by your insurance. Ask your insurance provider for more details, or choose Your Doctors Online and pay for the services out of pocket.
