How It Works — See an LA Doctor in Minutes
You can start a telehealth visit in Los Angeles within 5 minutes, without going through insurance hoops or waiting weeks for a primary care opening. Here's how to get started:
Tell us what's going on
Download the Your Doctors Online app, create an account, and describe your symptoms. You can attach a photo of a rash, a wound, or anything else the doctor needs to see.
How can we help?
Describe your issue below.
Talk to an LA online doctor

Get your treatment plan and prescription
If a prescription is appropriate, it's sent to your preferred Los Angeles pharmacy. You also get any doctor's notes, lab requisitions, or referrals as a downloadable PDF.

Why Los Angeles Residents Choose Your Doctors Online
Getting a same-day doctor's appointment in Los Angeles is harder than it should be. Primary care waitlists in LA run weeks out. The average wait time at LA General Medical Center is around 6 hours; Cedars-Sinai runs about 5 hours. A projected shortage of 3,490 primary care physicians across California compounds the problem. Here's how we work around that.
24/7 care, built for Los Angeles hours
LA runs on shift work, late nights, and back-to-back schedules. Our doctors are on every night, weekend, and holiday. If your child spikes a fever at 2 a.m. in Koreatown or a UTI flares up on a Sunday in Culver City, you can connect with a Los Angeles online doctor within minutes.
Prescriptions to any Los Angeles pharmacy
CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Vons, Ralphs, Costco, or an independent pharmacy near you. Your prescription goes wherever you actually fill it. Under California's AB 2789, prescriptions are sent electronically by default, so there's nothing to print, fax, or hand over.
No commute, no PTO, no waiting room
A walk-in visit in LA eats half a day once you factor in traffic, parking, the wait, and the trip back. A telehealth visit requires no travel and runs 10 to 20 minutes from your apartment, office, or hotel if you're traveling through the city.
Care from anywhere in Los Angeles
You're covered in Echo Park, the San Fernando Valley, East LA, Long Beach, and everywhere in between. Anyone physically located in California at the time of the visit can get virtual care.
Conditions We Treat Online in Los Angeles
We make it easier to get care through telehealth visits in Los Angeles for a wide range of everyday health concerns. The list below groups the most common things we provide virtual care for.
Urgent care
Feeling under the weather? We can help with common illnesses, such as cold and flu, COVID-19 symptoms, sinus infections, antibiotics for ear infections, sore throat, strep throat, UTIs, pink eye, allergic reactions, and mild rashes.
Chronic care
You can manage chronic conditions without losing your weekend to a clinic. Get care for diabetes monitoring, blood pressure follow-ups, asthma refills, and cholesterol checks.
Mental health support
We offer mental health counseling for ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, insomnia, and more.
Skin concerns
Get online prescriptions for several skin concerns. We can help you get rid of contact dermatitis fast, overcome acne breakouts, manage eczema flare-ups, and other skin infections.
Sexual and reproductive health
We can help treat yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and erectile dysfunction, and provide guidance on STI screening. You can also get prescriptions for Cialis, birth control, and other common medications without having to make an in-person trip.
What we can't treat online, and where to go instead
Telehealth is an effective option for many non-emergency conditions, but some health concerns still require in-person or emergency care.
Call 911 or go to your nearest ER
- Chest pain
- Severe shortness of breath
- Signs of stroke (slurred speech, one-sided weakness)
- Severe injuries or bleeding
- Sudden severe abdominal pain
- Thoughts of self-harm
We don't fill California Workers' Compensation claim forms or return-to-work clearances after surgery either. For those, we'll refer you to an in-person provider.

You don't need insurance to use Your Doctors Online. If you do, California's parity law AB 744 requires commercial plans and health care service plans to cover telehealth on the same basis as in-person care, with the same deductibles and dollar maximums.
California telehealth laws and your rights (applies to Los Angeles)
Under California Business and Professions Code §2290.5, telehealth is defined as health care delivered via information and communication technologies, including synchronous video, synchronous audio-only, and asynchronous store-and-forward.
Licensed providers
Licensed providers holding a California Medical Board license are eligible to deliver telehealth in California. This includes:
- Physician assistants
- Psychologists

Insurance and payment parity
Under California's AB 744 (effective January 1, 2021), most commercial insurers must cover telehealth services on the same basis as in-person visits. Medi-Cal also reimburses video, phone, and asynchronous care, and patients must be given the option of receiving care in person or virtually.

- Ability to request a different provider
- Clear disclosure of costs before treatment

Frequently asked questions
Are your doctors licensed in Los Angeles?
Yes, all physicians on Your Doctors Online are board-certified doctors registered to practice telehealth in California under the California Medical Board. California Business and Professions Code §2290.5 requires every physician seeing a California-located patient by telehealth to hold a current California license, and our doctors meet that requirement.
Can telehealth prescribe antibiotics in Los Angeles?
Yes, an online doctor in Los Angeles can prescribe antibiotics when the visit confirms a bacterial infection. The most common cases are UTIs, strep throat, sinus infections, ear infections, and skin infections. Your prescription is sent directly to your preferred Los Angeles pharmacy under the state’s electronic-prescribing rule. We don’t prescribe antibiotics for colds, flu, or other viral infections, because antibiotics don’t treat viruses.
How much does a telehealth visit cost without insurance in Los Angeles?
A telehealth visit in Los Angeles through Your Doctors Online costs $20 per month for unlimited visits, with no per-visit fees, copays, or deductibles. By comparison, other US virtual platforms charge $89 to $149 per visit out of pocket. With most California-regulated insurance plans, telehealth is reimbursed at the same rate as an in-person visit under AB 744.
Is telehealth covered by Medi-Cal?
Yes. Medi-Cal covers telehealth services delivered through video visits, audio, and text chat. Your Doctors Online is a self-pay flat-rate platform, so we don’t bill Medi-Cal directly. If you have Medi-Cal but can’t reach your assigned primary-care provider, our $20/month plan is a same-day alternative for non-emergency care.
Can I get a telehealth visit for a UTI in Los Angeles?
Yes, you can get a telehealth visit for a UTI in Los Angeles with Your Doctors Online. Our online doctor will ask about your symptoms, review your history, and prescribe an antibiotic for UTI when appropriate. The prescription is sent to a local pharmacy near you, often within minutes.
Can telehealth prescribe blood pressure medication in Los Angeles?
Yes. After reviewing your readings and history, a Los Angeles online doctor can prescribe or refill most blood pressure medications, such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, and thiazide diuretics. Stable patients on an existing regimen are usually the fastest cases. If your readings are dangerously high or you have new symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe headache, you’ll be directed to in-person care.
Can telehealth prescribe birth control in Los Angeles?
Yes, telehealth in Los Angeles can prescribe or refill birth control, including most combined oral contraceptives, progestin-only pills, the patch, the ring, and emergency contraception. We can’t insert IUDs or implants. Those require an in-person provider.
Is a telehealth prescription valid at Los Angeles pharmacies?
Yes, a prescription issued by a California-licensed physician through telehealth carries the same legal weight as one written in a clinic. Under California’s AB 2789, prescriptions in the state are sent electronically by default, so your CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Vons, Ralphs, Safeway, or independent pharmacy will receive it directly.
Can I see a Los Angeles online doctor without insurance?
Yes. Your Doctors Online doesn’t require insurance. The flat $20/month plan covers unlimited visits for one person across chat, phone, and video, for any non-emergency condition listed above. You pay separately for any prescription you fill at the pharmacy, but the visit itself is included in your subscription. This is the cheapest published self-pay rate among major Los Angeles telehealth platforms.
How does Your Doctors Online compare to urgent care clinics in Los Angeles?
An urgent care visit in Los Angeles typically costs $100 to $200 without insurance, requires travel, and wait times at LA General Medical Center average around 6 hours. With Your Doctors Online, you pay $20/month for unlimited visits, connect within minutes 24/7, and never leave your home. For non-emergency conditions, telehealth is faster, cheaper, and far more convenient than any in-person option in the city.
