For most everyday illnesses, such as UTIs, eczema, sinus infections, mental health concerns, and diabetes, a virtual doctor can provide medical advice and prescribe treatment to help you recover. In fact, research shows that 87% of telemedicine visits result in the same correct diagnosis as an in-person visit. However, for emergencies like seizures, cardiac arrest, or brain hemorrhage, you should go to the nearest emergency room or walk-in clinic immediately.

Yes, our online doctors can prescribe most medications for you if needed. The process is very straightforward: after your consultation, the doctor will send the prescription electronically to your preferred local pharmacy. You can pick it up just as you would with any prescription from an in-person doctor. Here are a few examples of medications prescribed for daily abscesses through Your Doctors Online:

• Online antibiotics
• Antiparasite prescription
• Anxiety medications 
• Erectile Dysfunction Medication
• Weight loss medication

Yes, you can get a doctor’s referral through a licensed doctor. After reviewing your symptoms, health history, and any test results, the doctor will determine if a referral is medically necessary. If appropriate, they will send the referral to your app, which you can download to see a specialist near you. 

The virtual visit’s length depends on your issue’s complexity, but most consultations last about 15-25 minutes. That’s typically enough time to discuss symptoms, ask and answer questions, and formulate a treatment plan. We don’t rush you, though. If you have multiple concerns or a lot of questions, the doctor will spend the time needed to address them. By the end of the visit, you should know what’s going on and what to do next.

Yes, a virtual doctor can often diagnose and treat ear infections in adults and older children. Your doctor can assess symptoms, recommend treatment, and send prescriptions for antibiotics such as Amoxicillin / Clavulanate or  Azithromycin for ear infections to your pharmacy if needed. For very young children or severe symptoms, they may advise an in-person exam for a closer look.
