It is so convenient to be able to get medical care from home via the telehealth system. I really appreciate the availability of providers and seamless integration of care within the app. My first appointments with my provider were also really pleasant, she was thoughtful and listened and it didn't have the same rushed and sterile feel that so often you get in a standard medical office environment. So far I am very happy and have already recommended it to friends.
