Senior telehealth reviews
You can ask a lot of questions regarding your health and what supplements you are taking and answered fast. In my case, one of the questions I asked is whether I need to still undergo colonoscopy - I had polyps removed 5 years ago - since I'm already 75 years old. The doctor answered that since I'm healthy, I should do it and the next day, I made an appointment. We also talked about supplements and she made me realize that I'm just wasting my money with some of them.

Meeting with the doctor in your home virtually was a plus. Also, didn't feel as I was in no hurry with this visit because my doctor was willing to answer any question I had and seemed to really care.

I really appreciated her patience with me and my not being very tech savvy resulting in which it took 3 different times to connect. Very thorough and pleasant and caring. I honestly don't think I couldn't have been more pleased with my doctor. Definitely will be my primary care from here on out for all my pulmonary care. Thanks again.

I very much appreciate the ability to schedule & attend virtual appointments without the hassle driving through traffic and facing the potential risk of crowded waiting areas often with many sick people. Thank you for helping me to avoid these risk factors. I really appreciate my doctor.
