Good platform for giving advice. Many questions too vague, too broad, lacking details

Easy to use. Convenient. Give peace of mind. Would highly recommend. Seems logical and helps free up from going in for minor medical worries

Healthtap has been the greatest thing for me in my life. It has helped me at 2am when im not feeling well, by having a virtual consult with top doctors. It has been there for me more than any doctor I have had before. The innovation and brilliance of this platform is by far the greatest thing i have experienced thus far on the internet. Great job HealthTap.

This site is a great way for people to receive guidance about medical questions from experts in the field. The Doctors are available for consultation and also provide pro-bono answers for everyone who writes in, giving an excellent service to the world-wide community.

Excellent app

Dr Nguyen is always prompt and through . I will continue to use Health Tap.

The program is great from the view of a medical patient. However, from the viewpoint of patients with psychological conditions, the program is lacking. First, the rates for brief consultations may be adequate, but there is rarely such a thing as “brief” therapy in the way medical consultations occur. “Brief” in psychotherapy still requires a personal, family and medication history. Secondly, one or two follow up sessions are often necessary. As follow-up sessions are determined, the 30-50 minute sessions are an additional fee that confuse many patients who barely comprehended the medical service they signed onto. SOAP notes are convenient for medical cases, but psychological notes often entail two files. The separate file is for the purpose of noting a process that must build toward obtaining information patients conceal from doctors until a level of trust is established over several sessions. For example, if a patient complains about depression, the art of the therapist is to build toward revealing any hidden causes, such as abuse or substance dependence. Finally, psychological records are generally only peer reviewed by other trained therapists. In addition, the separate case notes can not be subpoenaed. When a patient knows that any doctor can access their secrets, they are unlikely to be willing to reveal them. To make this program viable for psychological treatment, these issues need to be addressed!

Great information and trust!
