Good for non serious illnesses
I read a bunch of reviews on sesame to make sure it was legit before going through with it. I definitely didn’t want to spend $160 at urgent care. I was nervous to try it because a bunch of people with serious or chronic illnesses (or trying to get prescribed controlled substances) were having issues. I had a simple ear infection. My doctor, Stephen Fuentes, was online within 30 seconds of our appointment. He was cordial, polite, and very helpful. He conveniently moved through the preliminary questions (ie birthday & symptoms) and asked me to perform some physical exams on myself (pushing on parts of my ear) before issuing my prescription. The whole thing lasted 9 minutes. I was beyond pleased with the whole experience. He answered all my questions about the medication & how the pharmacy would receive my script and contact me when it was ready. I think this platform is ideal for people with infections or simple diagnoses, but maybe not so much for serious illnesses. I am super thankful to have found such a cheap alternative (I have no insurance). It would have cost me $450 to see an urgent care doctor and get these ear drops. I spent $90 between the virtual visit and my GoodRx coupon at Walmart for my meds. Thank you Stephen and thank you sesame!
