The Next Best Thing to a House Call - Doctor On Demand Review {and a Giveaway!}

This campaign is sponsored by Doctor On Demand, brought to you through the Blogging Mamas Network.  Although I received compensation, all opinions are my own.

These past couple of weeks, I have been so sick.  It started out with a cold I caught from one of the little ones, but then it turned in bronchitis and then pneumonia.  I'm finally starting to get better, but not until after I had to sit in an Urgent Care waiting room for over two hours, and then visit my regular doctor for a checkup. When you have little ones, being sick is hard enough - but trying to find someone to sit with them long enough for you to go to the doctor and get checked out?  That's a headache in itself!

That's why I was amazed to learn about a new online doctor app.  Did you know that you can consult with a doctor straight from your smartphone?  No waiting days or weeks for an appointment, no leaving your house when you're feeling like you've been hit by a truck, and no worrying about getting a sitter just to hang out in a waiting room for hours.

Doctor On Demand is a revolutionary new way to see the doctor.  For only $40, you get to talk one-on-one with a U.S. licensed, board certified doctor.  Co-founded by Jay McGraw, Emmy Award-winning creator and executive producer of The Doctors, with Dr. Phil as an advisor, Doctor On Demand connects you with a doctor any time you need it.


When to use Doctor On Demand

• cold, cough, flu, allergies
• Rash, Pink eye, hayfever
• Asthma, bladder infections
• pediatric questions
• most cases that are not life threatening
• prescriptions refills
• referral to a specialist

Do not use Doctor On Demand for life-threatening illnesses or situations such as:

• chest pain/pressure
• poisoning
• seizures
• serious head, neck or back injury
• broken bone

(These situations can be serious and require a visit to an emergency facility that will have equipment needed to treat you)

How does it work?

Then, to connect with the doctor, you just enter your symptoms and payment information (remember, it's only $40 - the cost of most insurance co-pays!) and you get to chat with a doctor in minutes!

You even have the option of a video chat, or voice only.  The doctor I chatted with was very friendly and knowledgeable - I let him know my symptoms and he gave me a second opinion.  Turns out I needed an additional medication, which he called into my pharmacy so I could pick it up later that day.

If you have no insurance, or if you're just looking for a quick alternative to pricey (not to mention, time-consuming) doctors visit - check out Doctor On Demand!
