“They were attentive and made sure I made it to the right place on time. The doctor listened to my concerns and provided a plan of care and communicated that with me during the visit. He was not dismissive and educational as far as what the next steps would be. ”
John O.April 28, 2025
“I had an amazing experience with my recent telemedicine appointment! From start to finish, the process was seamless and convenient. Scheduling was easy, and I received clear instructions on how to connect with the doctor.
When the appointment started, the doctor was punctual, professional, and genuinely attentive. They took the time to listen to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and provided clear explanations about my condition and treatment options. I never felt rushed, and the doctor’s bedside manner made me feel comfortable and heard.
The best part? I received my prescription quickly, and the follow-up instructions were detailed and easy to understand. The whole experience was just as effective as an in-person visit—without the hassle of commuting or waiting in a crowded office.
I highly recommend this telehealth service to anyone looking for quality care from the comfort of home. I’ll definitely be using it again in the future!”

the doctor mis read my history not looking at the fact that i have been im recovery for 6 yrs and that he held my meds against me that i have to take from my condition of ptsd and anxiety and he was extremely rude i own several successful business and im a staple of the community and i feel he used my addiction against me instead of looking and being open to the recovery that i have achieved and im not the only person who suffrrs from mental illness or past addiction
