I lost my medical insurance. I'm a Type 2 diabetic, and needed prescriptions refill. I searched online and found HealthTap! Very inexpensive for someone needing Dr's care. Dr Tyler Hendricks has been the best! I recommend anyone who needs Dr's care, to join up with HealthTap!

Definitely love the app, easy and accessible. GREAT! Customer Service and the Subscription makes Healthcare more affordable. The messaging option is absolutely fabulous because it allows, with Subscription 24/7 when available, quick access to your doctor. Dr. Pavel Conovalciuc is taking my Healthcare to a new level via Virtual Consultation and provides excellent care on-going. 😊⚘

It was great talking to the doctor about my diabetes. He solve the problem.
Madelene M.

My doctor that I used through HealthTap was excellent. I was diagnosed with diabetes this year through a different online program and the doctor who diagnosed it would not treat it. I was 400 fasting, so not serious enough to be treated in the ER but serious enough that they pushed me to go to urgent care. Urgent care only gave me Type 2 meds for 2 weeks and I couldn't get in to see even a PCP for over a month.

My provider was very professional and spent extra time with me to ask about my needs. The attention I received is not something I wouldn't normally receive in a doctor's office setting so it actually surprised me. I would definitely suggest this service to anyone looking for convenient way to see if a physician!!!

The physician actually really cared about my condition and took the extra time needed to get me in the right frame of mind and was very empathetic. I was impressed.
