PlushCare Virtual Healthcare: online doctorReviews of plushcare.com

I am so glad that I finally decided to give PlushCare a try. In fact, after my consultation with Dr. Nuwer I told myself that I should have called earlier. I was fighting an awful cold that didn't seem to get any better. She took time to ask me in depth questions and gave me options. Very patient. I felt that this was better than going to a doctor's office where I usually feel rushed after waiting forever in the waiting area. I feel so much better after I followed her treatment. I have the option of calling her back in five days if I feel that I am not getting better. There is no doubt that I will use Plush Care again. It was so easy to schedule a time to talk to Dr. Nuwer. I definitely recommend this service to anyone.

I discovered PlushCare while traveling. I needed a prescription but was in route to New York and found their website by chance. After a phone consultation with one of the PlushCare doctors, I had a prescription waiting for me when I arrived. I have used the service, and the same Doctor, several times. Even here at home I just schedule an appointment and receive immediate response and satisfaction. My schedule is very busy and not having to sit in a waiting room full of other ill patients makes this service even better! This is a unique service which I intend on using again and again. Thank you, PlushCare!!

Seriously can't say enough great things about PlushCare. I had called my regular doctor this past Friday morning about a problem I was having and spoke to her staff team. After describing the problem, I was told that the doctor would give me a call by the end of the day. I waited all day for the call, that I never got. Finally, when I was close to giving up on Saturday morning I found PlushCare. I called and spoke with Casey and he was extremely helpful in booking my appointment to get the help i needed. I talked with the doctor and was sent a prescription to my local CVS all before noon. I am so happy that I found PlushCare and that I was able to get my question answered and get the help I needed quickly. I don't know that I'll be going back to my regular doctor after having such a great experience with PlushCare.

A sore throat turned into a 103 degree fever on a Friday night and there were no nearby urgent care centers that were open. I was a little bit wary of a company that provides health care over the phone but I was in a bind. I called and made an appointment. An hour later I spoke with the Doctor who diagnosed me with strep throat and prescribed antibiotics. I picked them up that night and by morning had turned the corner. I'm not sure if this is the best service for everyone, but it worked great for me.

Due to heavy work commitments, I was unable to see my primary care physician or visit an urgent care after hours. From start to finish, PlushCare delivered on their website promises. The sign up process is easy and I was able to schedule an appointment that began 15 min later. Dr. Wantuck called precisely 4:45 pm and was very easy to talk to. He asked all the appropriate questions about my illness, medical history and current medications. I was able to ask all of my questions and get clear answers. He called in my prescription to a local pharmacy immediately after the call and also promptly emailed me lab test orders. They use SonoraQuest labs in AZ and it was easy to complete the required tests the next day. I was able to view my results online via Sonora Quest and had one abnormal finding. I called the 800 number and Patrick was very helpful. Dr. Wantuck called me back in 15 min. He explained the result and answered all my questions. There was no sense on my end that he was trying get off the phone and move on to the next patient. If can't see your doctor promptly, are too sick to sit in urgent care, or you have scheduling problems like I did, PlushCare is your answer! I will use this practice again without hesitation!

Yes. I'M rating this 5 stars. At first I was very skeptical about the service. I initially went online looking to schedule an appointment with walgreens take care clinic to address the ongoing issues with my shortness of breath, wheezing and nothing but ongoing coughing. All this caused by bronchospasms that I was previously diagnosis with last year of 2014 when I went to the ER for shortness of breath and wheezing. I was prescribed an Albuterol inhaler as needed for wheezing and shortness of breath. Months went by and I finally took my last puff on my inhaler. So I dealt with this for quite some time without a prescription because I had no insurance due to being laid off. One night I could no longer take after doping myself up on 75mg a night of benadryl just to help deal with my allergies and my shortness of breath so i decided I would go to the take care clinic and that's when I came across plushcare, I did extensive research and looked on BBB and saw that they were legit and a had alot of good reviews. So I took a chance because for one it would be cheaper than paying $100 plus other fees to go to the take care clinic and not having to go to the ER for sure would save me a lot of money. NOTING that when I went to the ER last year for the shortness of breath I racked up $592 in medical bills just to receive a nebulizer treatment and steroids. But with plushcare I paid $69 for my appt and $58 for my inhaler with a $10 discount plushcare provides you with or without insurance. I'm from Chicago, IL so I had the pleasure of having James Wantuck, MD as my doctor. He called me at the specified time I had set up, ask me very detailed questions regarding medical history, medications and so forth, he was very kind and understanding and even told me what type of environment to avoid given my condition. What I also liked most was his willingness to make sure that the medication prescribed was going to be effective and if it didn't work to follow up with him so we can go to plan B. So yes I will be using this service moving foward. I told my family, friends and coworkers about this. Pls understand this is not a scam. Don't knock it unless you have tried and if u knock it well to bad for you, but I have my solution for not waiting for hours or even days to see a doctor and saving money. So thank you Plushcare and most of all Dr. Wantuck.

came across PlushCare while searching for urgent care options in Oak Harbor, Ohio. I was not necessarily looking for treatment during my call. Instead I was primarily calling to determine whether I needed immediate medical care for a set of symptoms that could have possibly related to a serious medical condition. I tried getting in to see several local doctors with no luck that day, so this seemed a convenient and viable alternative. The scheduling process was easy (though be aware that the time zones on the schedule may be for CA time and not your own) and I received a call promptly at my scheduled time. So far, so good. But what REALLY amazed me was the quality of the interaction between my doctor and me. He listened carefully and didn't rush me at all. He asked questions directly related to my specific concerns. Once I finished presenting my symptoms and concerns, he asked great questions. I've noticed often that doctors do not pick up on nuances or listen carefully and end up jumping to conclusions instead. After I finished sharing my symptoms, Dr. Wantuck summarized which of my symptoms concerned him and which did not. Since I was trying to evaluate how serious my symptoms were, this was extremely helpful. He was sensitive, compassionate, and I could tell that he was taking my situation seriously. Being candid, I will say that I had a high level of skepticism about the online doctor experience. I questioned the credentials of the doctors that would provide service this way, and didn't expect such a satisfying, professional experience. I have recommended PlushCare to many friends and family since my first experience and will certainly use the service again in the future.

I was on vacation in the bay area when I recognized the early signs of a UTI (sorry if TMI). All I can say is THANK GOODNESS my cousin knew about PlushCare. I called, made an "appointment," explained my symptoms to the PC Doc and got my prescription, all in less than a couple of hours. It was a no-nonsense, easy-to-use system and it was perfect for someone traveling, or who just doesn't have time to mess with making an appointment for a week from now when it's too late.
