Employee Testimonial

Over the Fourth of July weekend, I went to see fireworks at a park in Hurst. While there, something bit me repeatedly around the ankles. Of course, I did what I wasn’t supposed to do and scratched the area until it became infected.

After a week of scratching and redness that wouldn’t go away I took pictures of my ankles and uploaded them to the Teladoc website. I then called and requested a consultation. I was asked if a regular MD or dermatologist was needed. I asked for a dermatologist since it was a skin infection.

The doctor returned my call within 15 minutes, looked at the uploaded photos and asked a series of questions to determine the best course of action. Once he determined that I felt fine with the exception of the itching he prescribed an oral and topical antibiotic which I picked up on my way home from work.

The call was free and I saved $30 since I didn’t have to pay my primary care doctor a copay. The entire process took less than 30 minutes. I would definitely use Teladoc again.
