Very helpful service, I'm home on a Saturday with 3 kids while wife is at work and a Dr. with great credentials was able to help me via text

It's nice to know that there is a reliable and credible app out there for at least medical advice, let alone all of the other services HealthTap offers. I've had nothing but good experiences and have recommended to friends and family. They enjoy the app too! Especially the ones with kids. Always something going haywire :)

Use this service for my 5 year old son...he had a ring worm in his head. Dr was very professional. She sent the medicine over as she said it was quick and easy very satisfied.

The doctors and convenience of HealthTap are marvelous. My very ill minor son received a virtual appointment with the doctor within 5 minutes on a late afternoon of the Sunday of a holiday weekend. The prescription was sent and my son was taking his first prescribed dose within 40 minutes. The doctor listened carefully, was thorough, knowledgeable and professional and personable. The service cost little. This was a truly astounding and topnotch experience. By comparison, I had called the local urgent care clinic and was told there was a 2.5 hour wait and no appointments accepted. When I asked about others, the receptionist told me all clinics are reporting the same. HealthTap will be my family's provider for life. I am so grateful to the top notch service.

Fast, easy, affordable. Our medical provider was very friendly, attentive and professional. She zeroed in on my child's diagnosis in about 2 minutes. Also, she didn't give us an necessary and wholly undesired lecture about "GETTING VACCINATED." Meds arrived at the pharmacy immediately. I literally couldn't ask for a better experience! Love it!

I got the help I need within minutes. Without even leaving my home. Is such a big help when people like me have 8 children and it's hard to go anywhere with that many children. Now i don't have to bc of HealthTap.

It has been very helpful to me especially trying to find out what's wrong with my toddler even though I've never spoken to a doc online, but the symptom checker and possible diagnosis has always given me a clue on my child's present health, if I should be worried or not, when to go to the hospital and when to go for OTC drugs
