Traveling for the holidays is common for most people, and a given this time of year. Heavy traffic, accidents, delayed flights, and bad weather are on the running list for things that can go wrong. However, the one thing that can make the happiest time of year downright miserable is when you, your partner, or your kids get sick.
Finding a doctor on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day can be difficult for many reasons such as finding a reliable doctor while out-of-town and many of them closed on the holidays. The other issue is when you do find somewhere that is open, it usually involves an expensive bill for an easy solution.
However, instead of adding to the holiday stress this year, utilizing resources such as an online doctor can be a lifesaver, an easy and affordable solution for many. With Call-On-Doc, you can get treated online 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays for ages one and up, including urgent care conditions and prescription refills in case you forget or run out of your meds.
Pricing at Call-On-Doc remains the same no matter what day it is, unlike traditional urgent care centers or other online doctors who charge additional weekend or holiday fees. Most consultations are $39.99 and are completed in 2 hours or less; however, Call-On-Doc includes the option to pay an additional fee for an express visit, completed in 15 minutes or less.
Combining the cold weather, people packed in close together, a heating system pushing hot air, and, for many, a live Christmas tree, the holidays can often create the best conditions for any number of illnesses. Here are the most common conditions we see and treat during the holidays:
In addition to the usual holiday stress, being sick during festivities and time with family can be difficult, but taking quick actions can help prevent others from getting sick and to improve you or your family's health. Some quick tips to help include:
When it comes to getting a solution fast, Call-On-Doc has you covered even during the holidays with our consultations taking an average of 5-10 minutes to complete on your phone and your medication available the same day. Another benefit includes instant access to medical care, no appointments are needed to submit a visit.
Whether you forget your medication or need an additional supply to bring with you while traveling, Call-On-Doc ensures you never go without or miss a dose of daily needed prescriptions with our easy online refill options. From birth control to diabetes or blood pressure medication, mental health, dermatology, or other chronic conditions, prescription refills while traveling or during the holidays are now a simple solution.

5 Reasons Why You Should Still Use Telemedicine After COVID-19
With the emergence of COVID-19 in 2020, more people utilize telemedicine than ever before. Once viewed just as an alternative to traditional doctor visits, telemedicine is quickly changing healthcare as we know it.
Unlike usual doctor’s visits, talking to a doctor online won't give you instant access to tests like mammograms or lab work. However, the service does offer unique benefits not always achievable through an in-person doctor's appointment. CallonDoc also offers traditional in-person care by offering lab tests, diagnostic imaging and at-home tests, allowing patients to have full coverage on their healthcare needs.
With the COVID-19 pandemic gradually passing its peak, many people assume telehealth may be a thing of the past, but they’re sorely mistaken. With the pandemic allowing people to fully exploit the power of the internet and technology, the popularity of virtual doctor’s appointments is set to keep increasing.
And if you’re still not convinced, here are five reasons why many still plan on using telemedicine after COVID-19.

Feedback from our amazing patients!
"I can’t believe I did not know about this kind of service! This was absolutely perfect for my health concern and they were able to provide me with the necessary medication and with such cinch. Completely recommended this service. For minor health concerns, this can save you an unnecessary and costly trip to an urgent care center."
"Amazing!! Easy and fast! I didn’t have to take my 4 year old into an urgent care where only god knows what germs are there. The doctor sent the script right to my pharmacy within minutes!!!"
"I would give 10 stars if I could! CallonDoc is literally the reason I am recovering instead of suffering as I write this. I was skeptical at first, but I’m not kidding when I tell you I got prescribed my antibiotics and picked it up at the pharmacy within 2 hours. So instead of waiting & paying around 300$...I paid 40$!! I’m very pleased."
