Time Tidbits: MDLive

“Back-To-School” is a time of year that kids and parents sometimes dread. Because if there’s one thing parents have learned over the years, is that with the new school year and classmates comes a host of sniffles, sore throats, ear problems, head lice and more. They know it’s just a matter of time before they’ll need to miss work to take their kids to a packed pediatrician’s office, or even worse, have to visit their own  doctor after picking up their child’s symptoms.

Those who cannot fit a doctor or pediatrician appointment into their busy schedules can skip the office visits and consult with MDLIVE board-certified doctors via secure online video, MDLIVE App, or phone—from anywhere. Average wait time is less than 10 minutes, and prescriptions can quickly be sent electronically to the nearest pharmacy.
