Access to Qualified Doctors Around the Clock

TelaDoc physicians are all experienced doctors, licensed to practice medicine in their respective states. They review your medical history, talk to you on the phone, discuss your symptoms, explain your probable diagnosis, and when medically appropriate, prescribe a medication. Before being allowed to provide consultations, each doctor undergoes a credentialing process that reviews their education, state licensure, DEA registration, board certification, as well as any malpractice or disciplinary history. Once doctors begin providing consults their work is reviewed as part of a Quality Assurance program..
