“I love Teladoc! I used it when I had poison ivy. I was only sorry I hadn’t used it days earlier. It was easy, quick and very convenient. I called Teladoc at 7:30 p.m. and had my prescription ready at CVS at 9:00 p.m. Then, I used my discount card for my prescription for steroids and they were half price.”

Yolanda G., CA
“I was at work not feeling well but didn’t want to leave work. So I decided to call Teladoc. It was a wonderful experience! The doctor called me back within 30 minutes. I spoke with him for about 15 minutes and he wrote me a prescription that I was able to pick up on my way home from work at my pharmacy! It was very convenient. Teladoc saved me money and I didn’t have to miss time from work.”

“One night my son had an upset stomach. I considered taking him to the emergency room but called Teladoc instead. The doctor suggested an over the counter medication and plenty of fluids. I’m thankful that I avoided the time and expense of going to the ER.”
