Getting Non-Urgent Medical Care Without Leaving Home

August 2003 (Newstream) -- Recent studies show that 90 percent of surveyed adults who are online would like to be able to communicate with their doctor via the Web, and 77 percent said they'd like to be able to ask their doctors questions where no visit is necessary. Now, an online service is helping people take care of their basic medical needs without ever leaving their home or office.

MyDocOnline Connect is a secure online tool that allows patients to connect with their established doctors over the Internet. Patients can avoid unnecessary office visits and take care of billing questions, prescriptions, appointment scheduling without the hassle of phone calls. They even have access to an online doctor's visit for non-urgent medical needs. Multiple layers of security ensure patient privacy.

Summer's almost over, and for most, schedules are already starting to get hectic. When we're busy, we often don't have time to take care of even the most important things, like our health. And when we have an ailment or a medical question that doesn't seem urgent, we often don't do anything about it since it usually requires multiple phone calls or an office consultation. Now, non-urgent issues can be handled easily outside of the office, and both doctor and patients can be assured that the most is made of scheduled appointments.

To find out if your doctor is connected with MyDocOnline Connect, call 866-252-4723 or go to www.mydoconline.com.
