Doctors That Make House Calls? It’s True, Get A Free Doctor On Demand Visit!

Too busy to go to the doctor? We all are these days. Do you long for the days when doctors made house calls? Would you like the doctor to come to you instead of having to drag your sick, cranky child out? I have good news! Doctor On Demand provides just that. See the doctor without leaving your house! You can even do it for FREE!

At Doctor On Demand you can have Video Visits with Board-Certified Physicians and Licensed Psychologists via your smartphone, tablet or computer at any time of day!

Doctor On Demand provides fast, easy and cost-effective access to some of the best health care providers in the country. These health care professionals are carefully screened and trained to conduct Video Visits with patients. There are even Lactation Consultants who provide invaluable support to moms during the critical first few months of their babies’ lives.

My Experience:

You should know I would not recommend something I have not tried. Let me tell you about my experience using Doctor On Demand for the first time. Whether you are downloading the free app on your smartphone or tablet or creating an account from your computer or laptop, the process is simple. I registered and created an account from my laptop in about a minute.

Yesterday was busy, first day of school, busy day working from home after the holiday weekend, so the last thing I wanted to do was take time out driving to the doctor. With Doctor On Demand I did not even have to leave my desk. I scheduled an appointment for that afternoon. I could have been seen immediately if I wanted. I had tons of times to choose from!

When I scheduled my appointment it asked for some very basic information for the doctor about why I wanted to see them. Providing specific information gives the doctors as much background into the issue before your appointment. Then you will test your video, speakers and microphone.

When your appointment time arrives, you have a pop up that tells you the doctor is ready to see you. They are on time! You then accept and your Video Visit begins. I saw a very nice, personable, female physician who took her time, didn’t rush me and made me feel at ease. At the end of our appointment she said I could add her to my favorite physicians and follow-up with her if I liked. I really liked that you can see the same doctor.

The doctors can even call in scripts if needed to your pharmacy. Check Out Doctor On Demand on Facebook and Twitter.

Get Your Free Doctor On Demand Visit:

Okay like I said at the start, you can see the doctor for FREE! With Back-To-School season in full swing, chances are you need to! Common Back-To-School issues treated are colds, coughs, sore throat, flu, skin rashes, pink eye, intestinal issues, vomiting and more! To get your FREE Visit just go to Doctor On Demand and enter the code RAMBLINGS15 to redeem your free Video Visit with a physician, psychologist or lactation consultant!

Please let me know how your appointment went and what you think about this new way to see the doctor. I would love for you to share your experiences in the comments.

Holiday Travel Essential Package For Baby Giveaway With Tortle & 2 Red Hens Diaper Bag!!!

Did you know that 1 out of 2 babies develop flat head syndrome and that it is totally preventable? A pediatrician developed a product called Tortle, this lightweight baby beanie can prevent flat head and even treat babies who have developed flat head. Target.com will carry three Tortle designs; Blue Elephant, Pink Flowers and Solid White. The Tortle beanies are available in medium and large sizes at a suggested retail price of $19.99. You can follow Tortle on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest to stay up to date with all the latest product news.

Developed by Dr. Jane Scott, a Board Certified Pediatrician and Neonatologist, the Tortle beanie is an FDA-cleared patented Class 1 medical device that promotes proper head and neck movement which is essential for appropriate development. Tortle helps prevent and treat early stages of flat head syndrome: plagiocephaly (the flattening of the baby’s skull) & torticollis (unbalanced neck muscles). Tortle works by gently deflecting a baby’s head from side to side when they are sitting or lying on the back of their head. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends regular head repositioning of babies younger than six months.

The incidence of Plagiocephaly and Torticollis (or Flathead syndrome) has increased to epidemic proportions since 1992 with more than a million babies being diagnosed with the condition each year in the U.S. alone. This is due to their lack of movement and the amount of time infants spend on their back (the safest place for them to be). If left untreated, there can be long-standing problems. Treatment is frequently expensive and can be somewhat uncomfortable for a baby. Plagiocephaly and Torticollis are almost 100% preventable with repositioning and Tortle makes this safe and easy. It is recommended that all newborns wear a Tortle for the first 6 months of life to support healthy development.
