TelaDoc

TelaDoc is a national network1 of board certified physicians providing cross coverage consultations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. TelaDoc physicians use medical records and telephone consultations to diagnose, recommend treatment and write short term prescriptions2. TelaDoc does not replace the existing primary care physician relationship, but instead enhances it with an efficient, cost-effective alternative for minor medical problems.

TelaDoc SERVICES

TelaDoc consulting physicians treat illnesses that arise quickly and tend to run a brief course, typically 5 -10 days. Consulting physicians address acute, episodic, self-limited and minor illnesses as opposed to chronic (always present) conditions such as hypertension, epilepsy, or diabetes. Remember TelaDoc for:

  • Respiratory Infections
  • Bronchitis
  • Gastroenteritis
  • Allergies
  • Urinary Tract Infections
  • Pharyngitis
  • Sinusitis
  • Rx Refill (short term only)
