About LiveHealthOnline

There are few feeling worse than being ill. But believe it or not, the illness is only the start of your problems. Next comes the inconvenience of trying to get better. First, you’d need to call your local doctor and try to get an appointment. The chances of getting an appointment for the same day are not great. 

So, you soldier through the first 24 hours until it’s finally time for your appointment. You take a quick shower to “freshen up”, crawl to the car and drive to the doctor’s office. Even though you are just in time for your appointment, you’re told to take a seat in the waiting room because the good ol’ doc is running a “few minutes” late. You take a seat, surrounded by the living dead and their cacophony of cough, sneezes, wheezes and array of other sickly sounds, convinced that you are catching every single one of their germs. Eventually its finally time to see the doc. Who after 10 minutes writes you a script and hands you a rather large bill.

If only there was an easier way. Well, there is – LiveHealthOnline.

LiveHealthOnline can be used for daily health concerns like head colds, the flu, fevers and infections. Essentially, LiveHealthOnline is an online telemedicine platform that provides you with almost instant access to online doctors whenever you need them. The virtual doctors at LiveHealthOnline can prescribe medications and will even send your script directly to your pharmacy of choice. 

However, it should be noted that there are a few areas where you would be better served seeing an in-person doctor rather than one of LiveHealthOnline’s virtual doctors. When it comes to any sort of medical emergency, your best bet would be to call 911 or see an in-person doctor as quickly as possible. Patients in need of prescriptions for controlled substances or lifestyle drugs are also advised to see an in-person doctor.

Next, sign in and create an account. While not strictly mandatory, we suggest you go ahead and create your profile since the app will then be able to keep a record of all of your previous appointments if you do.

If you are suffering from a medical or allergy-related ailment, you’ll be taken to a page displaying the profiles of the virtual doctors nearest to you. After reading the bios of the LiveHealthOnline virtual doctors, you will need to pick the one you feel most comfortable with and who you think is best suited to assist with your particular ailment. Within minutes you will be connected with your chosen online doctor and your consultation can begin. Generally, the consultation lasts around 10 minutes. If you have been prescribed medication, your online doctor can send the prescription straight to your preferred pharmacy.
