"The NowClinic website is an intuitive...

and accessible web experience that allows patients to access a medical doctor from the comfort of their own home or office. I registered, chatted with a doctor, and had a prescription called in within minutes. The doctor was professional, Internet savvy, inquisitive, and decisive. Moreover, he followed-up to confirm he had called in my prescription, and the following day he followed-up again to see how my treatment was progressing. The traditionally sterile experience of a doctor visit has been transformed into a patient-oriented-service that respects the time and schedule of a patient. I will, whenever possible, use this service for my family. This is the future of medicine and progressive treatment. I give the highest marks to NowClinic's entire staff. They get it, and they got it right.

"I am a full-time working mom in a professional...

field and have 4 children ages 6 years-old and younger. NowClinic not only allowed my son to heal quickly from a sore throat and infection, but also saved me a morning of trying to get an appointment with a doctor, traveling to the doctor's office, paying a co-pay and then going to the pharmacy – only to wait for my prescription to be filled. My doctor does not typically follow  up with prescriptions, so I usually wait at least 40 minutes for a prescription to be filled. In my son's case, he was already feeling better the very next morning. Also, because of NowClinic, I was able to spend more time with my family than I would have managing a typical doctor's appointment. I was also able to go back to work. I would highly recommend NowClinic to my friends and family and anyone with kids and or a busy schedule. Thank you NowClinic!"

"I tried NowClinic for the first time this morning...

slickest thing ever!

The registration process was simple and quick, finding a doctor online was easy, and chatting online and using the webcam made the interaction very personal.

[The doctor] was professional, engaged, and asked all the right questions about my medical history and current symptoms; making me feel very at ease with our online interaction. He also informed me that he will follow-up via email within the next 2 days to see how I am feeling (my own primary care physician doesn't do that!). The time and hassle I saved by eliminating a physician's office visit makes this a priceless resource.

If I had not done NowClinic - it would have been an appointment to the doctor. If I was lucky, I might have gotten in the same day, but doubtful. If not, possibly a trip to Urgent Care (while not preferable). Not only a trip to the doctor (resulting in missed time from work), but a trip to the pharmacy and a wait there for them to fill my prescription. My NowClinic experience had the prescription faxed (or however they worked their magic) to my pharmacy and it was waiting when I got there. With an upcoming work trip planned, I couldn't afford another delay to get back on the mend.

Overall, this was a great experience and a wonderful resource!

I look forward to sharing my positive experience with others who may not have yet utilized NowClinic.

Thanks a ton!"
