QuickMDReviews of quick.md

Having a doctor on demand is an excellent way to provide services in the technology age we live in today. QuickMD is the first I've heard of and looks promising. Reaching potentially more people who are less able to travel to see a doctor is not only practical but increases people access to healthcare.

I like the initial video of this app it is very informed and detailed for people that do not like going to the doctor's office this is a great option it's also nice having the option to just pay with your insurance by paying just the minimum copay great for people on the go and people that have a busy lifestyle it's also great for people that have fears and phobias of going to the ER that are scared of getting sick or just going to the doctor in general I would recommend this app to family and friends

I think this a good option for the problems in healthcare we are experiencing after COVID, such as engorged ER and difficulty finding a doctor when we are experiencing health issues. I will definitely use this app. Thanks for the awesome idea!

Well from the infomercial I watched it seems like a excellent idea...It will benefit alot of people especially those that aren't able to get to urgent care..pat on the back to whomever thought of this..

It's very convenient if you have a tight schedule and are on a budget. Normal response time between you and your doctors. Overall great service.

A few months back I went to the ER for an arrhythmia that I already knew with some confidence what type it was. It was confirmed there, and they gave me some numbers to cardiologists, none of whom would even see me b/c I have no insurance. So that ended up being a $12K visit (discounted to $10,500 because I'm a 'charity case') to get a diagnosis I already knew, and not any closer to a permanent fix (radio-ablation and pacemaker, likely). While I have been going through the trials & tribulations of getting on MediCal (which so far I keep getting rejected for vague reasons), my condition has led to evidence of early heart failure. I thought it would be a perfectly reasonable thing to be started on a low dose beta blocker / ACE-Inhibitor to slow the process down until I passed all the means-testing for MediCal. These are some of the safest medicines we have at our disposal - they've been shown to lower the risk of death from heart failure, heart attacks, and arrhythmias - two of those three things I have. But the doctor I was set up with just spent 10 minutes yelling at me that she can't put me on medicines like that without doing an in person exam, knowing what my blood pressure is, etc. When I asked her what the risks were she stammered a lot but basically only cited low blood pressure that could cause me to faint. I run high on blood pressure, first of all, but more importantly lets weigh the risk benefit analysis - WITH these meds - lower risk of death but a very small chance my BP might drop to a level where I get dizzy and faint briefly. WITHOUT: I could die any time, but I won't faint. She kept shouting "how can I put you on these things If I haven't done a physical exam?" Well.. WHY THE HECK ARE YOU ON A SITE THAT ONLY WORKS BY WAY OF PHONE OR CAMERA?? Can you EVER check your patients BP on QuickMD? Starting me on the lowest dose of each (say carvedilol or metoprolol, for the beta blocker, and lisinopril for the ace-inhibitor) would carry such minimal risk as to be laughable. We could've booked a follow up in a week to see if they were enough, and gone from there. We could have done one at a time, booking 2 or 3 appointments, if she wanted to be excessively cautious. Just like medicine normally works. I don't get what she is doing on a site like this if she's so reluctant to use her license without a physical visit first, and I'm more stressed than before now, so thanks. TLDR: I can't speak to the rest of them, but Dr. Khatereh Assadi is a REALLY bad choice, and has no business being associated with a telemedicine company. Awful 'bedside' manner', downright rude, despite the fact that she should know my condition is not helped by stress. "Do no harm" includes not making your patients feel like a-holes just for asking for help. EDIT: Follow up with Dr. Rashid Awan, MD So I tried again, because I know enough to know what I was asking was not crazy. Totally opposite experience from the first. Pleasant attitude, understood the issue at hand, clearly had read my notes beforehand, and was on board all the way. We had a brief discussion about dosages to start at and how to work up if necessary, went over things to watch for if I'm not tolerating them well, or if my illness is getting worse, and then he phoned them in to the pharmacy. Since I got a full refund for the bad visit, and since the good visit was easily worth the price, I'm jumping them up to 4 stars - not 5, b/c iits clearly dependent on who you get, but keep trying if your Doc was unreasonable.
