Really disappointed
Really disappointed. I read and followed the instructions and put in my information, then wrote down my entire history with rosacea and the associated condition with my eyes in the free-form answer section. I was lead to believe that the Nurx providers could treat rosacea, no where on the site does it say “oh, we only treat mild cases or easily understood cases.” I paid the $30, non-refundable consultation fee and then waited approximately 2 weeks to hear back from someone. When I did hear back, I was told that the medicine I have used for approximately 2 years was not the appropriate treatment for rosacea since I did not have pimple or little bumps. She recommended I use a topical cream and avoid caffeine and other common triggers to avoid flushing of the skin, when I had already specified that I have been using doxycycline for two years with great results and I just wanted to be put back on that, and that the reason my skin looks clear now is because I’m on the antibiotic. Also explained my skin isn’t generally flushed, I’m more worried about the bumps and issues with my eye lids. I then sent additional pictures from last year when I was having a severe rash (I was off the antibiotic for a few weeks) and explained what it’s like when I’m NOT on the medication. I was then told my case was too complicated for them and they recommend I see someone in person. I guess what frustrates me is how Nurx presents itself as the dermatological service for rosacea, but fails to specify that they’re only willing to treat you if your face is flushed. If you want oral antibiotics you’re out of luck. Even though they SAY they offer that as a treatment option. So I feel like I was lead to believe they could treat this condition in a way that works for me. And they had all of my information prior to the doctor reaching out to me, and she reached out and it was like she hadn’t even read the information I already provided. Just overall so disappointed.
