Shannon, IN, May 2022 

 

“I was a first time user and couldn't be more happy with my experience. Everything was so easy and fast!

Amber, IN, May 2022 

 

“For some reason I could not get a call into my regular doctor's office. I tried calling a local urgent care, and got referred twice in response to a simple question that never did get answered.

"Loved it. I drove to a clinic and turned around in the parking lot because it was crowded. I went and used the app and was done before they would have called my turn."

Richard, NJ, March 2022 

 

"I called to get an appointment for my daughter and then myself. It went very well. The doctor was very thorough and asked great questions. They listened and took time to explain what he was prescribing. Excellent experience for our first visit here. We were visiting out of state and did not have a MD locally. We would have otherwise gone to an urgent care and I have other kids I would have had to bring along. This was awesome to have the visit by telemedicine and then pick up our medications."

Lilyan, RI, March 2022 

 

"I had felt symptoms for 2 days, but my work schedule does not allow time for me to take off for the doctor and hardly even a break to make a call to schedule an appointment. It is so fast and easy."

Christa, IN, March 2022 

 

"Quick phone call, chat, diagnosis, nice doctor, and was done in less than 5 minutes. Certainly saved my sanity from making an appointment, going to the doctor, and wasting probably 2 hours of my day. I would have called sooner if I had known it was so quick!"

Patricia, LA, March 2022 

 

"I had nagging symptoms but I was too busy to bother with them. Got email from employer about First Stop Health benefits, clicked into website. 15 minutes later had prescription waiting at pharmacy instead of uncomfortable symptoms. Thanks, First Stop Health."

Barbara, NJ, February 2022 

 

"Recently moved and have not set up with a primary care provider yet and First Stop was able to refill my prescription for me in the meantime! Thanks!"

Rio, OR, February 2022 

 

"Excellent experience.... My request was handled quickly and professionally. I completed my information online and had a call back from a doctor in less than 30 minutes. My prescription was sent to the pharmacy about the same time I finished the call with the doctor. My experience with First Stop Health saved me a copay, the headache of scheduling a doctor appointment, and the travel/waiting in a doctor’s office. I definitely recommend considering First Stop for your non-emergency health conditions."

Mark, TX, February 2022 

 

"I am having sinus problems, so I decided to use First Stop Health. I got online and filled out a small questionnaire to get started. A doctor called me back within about 3 minutes. They asked me what my symptoms were and if I was allergic to any meds. They then made the diagnosis and prescribed an antibiotic to be picked up at my pharmacy. A very simple procedure that took probably less than 10 or 15 minutes. And not a dime out of pocket. Best thing ever since sliced bread."

Robert, IL, February 2022 

 

"I was just inpatient for COVID-19, so certainly concerned when I was having severe pain in my rib area. Due to the time of night, my only other choice was the ER. The First Stop Health doctor talked me through symptoms to determine muscle pull or blood clot in lung and thank goodness he was right. I was able to relax and work through the issue without a trip to the ER."

Diane, WI, February 2022 

 

"I have not been feeling well for going on 4 weeks. Headache, congestion, cough, sore throat, no energy. I went to my doctor's and they confirmed I did not have COVID-19 or the flu, but I still did not feel well for weeks. First Stop Health helped me feel better in days. I paid a lot for my in-person doctor's visit. Telemedicine is included with my insurance. I can't believe I did not think to call them first to save money and get well faster."

Vicky, IN, February 2022 

 

"The team at First Stop Health was very helpful - with both the technical support to reset my password in order to upload photos and with the level of care provided. I was given immediate assistance after placing my request and the entire process was so simple yet effective for receiving excellent care."

Deena, TX, January 2022 

 

"I knew I had an ear infection since I’m prone. I’m a teacher so it’s tough to get away for appointments. I was amazed how quick and easy the appointment was. I was very happy with the service. Thank you!"

Rebecca, PA, January 2022 

 

"I was skeptical at first because I have never used telemedicine, but he made me feel comfortable, he was very knowledgeable and I feel better since taking my prescription they had prescribed."

Tammi, KY, January 2022 

 

"The doctor really took the time to listen and evaluate my son’s sports injury. I appreciated their insights and direction. Thank you!"

Aidan, NJ, January 2022 

 

"My husband and I are out of town and both got sick over the holidays. We were able to call and get a same day appointment with a doctor. This is a great service. My doctor was easy to talk with and very thorough."

Paula, NC, January 2022
