Have you ever needed to go to the Doctor, but just didn’t have the time?? I’ve been suffering with pain in my arm for a few weeks now – I think I know what it is (a pinched nerve for lifting weights) and I knew I should get into the Doctor to make sure, and find out what I needed to do to make it better. But my work schedule and my kids schedule, not to mention trying to get an appointment can be a big headache. That’s why I felt it was a divine intervention (Angels singing here) when I discovered American Well.
With American Well you can hop on your computer, in the comfort of your own home (or office), and talk or video chat with a Doctor to discuss your symptoms or problems. I hopped on while I was at work and decided to give it a shot – The Doctor was knowledgeable, kind, and caring. We were able to discuss my symptoms and problems, and she was able to give me a diagnosis – all from the comforts of my desk chair, on my lunch break! No need to wait for hours in office, using up valuable vacation time. It is available on your smart phone, tablet or computer.
BONUS: The fee for talking to her was less then my Family Doctor Co-Pay!
They can write you a prescription quickly as well if you need it and send it to your choice of pharmacy. What’s really neat is that it is available 24/7, 365 days per year. When regular doctor’s offices are closed, American Well is still open. Late at night with questions about your child, on vacation or holiday, or busy day’s when you want some advice, or you just can’t make the time to get into your physician. What’s great is they will actually share your file with your current family practitioner so everyone is on the same page when it comes to your health and wellness.
Is there a time that you could of used American Well for yourself or your family?

Wow! This is great! I often times want to ask a question but don't want to go actually go to the Dr. I had never heard of American Well. Thanks!
I am always Googling symptoms to see if I need to schedule a doctor's appointment for myself, my hubby, or my kids. It's nice that there's a single website to help!
I love that it's a video chat. It's the convenience of google search without the terrible false diagnosis that you can give yourself!
Wow, technology truly makes everything convenient. Though I like going to my doctor, there are times (such as when on vacation or when I can't get an apt.) that a virtual doctor would be awesome. I'll have to check this out!
I think that being able to talk or video chat with a Doctor to discuss your symptoms or problems is fantastic! For minor problems this would save both the doctor and myself time and money. I would be interested in this program for my house.
Wow, I had no idea this service existed! I can think of many times when my children were smaller that this would have come in handy! I will certainly keep it in mind for the future!
That is amazing. And thanks for the coupon! I usually self diagnose for the whole family, but I don't think my background as a blogger has any medical standing!
This is an interesting concept. I think it will be good in certain situations
That would be really cool! I love that the service isn't relatively inexpensive. However, if you are paying that every single time you talk to a doctor, that could add up.
I should use that as I think I have a torn rotator cuff.
