For years, “urgent care” meant exactly that—urgent needs handled in brick-and-mortar clinics. But the experience was rarely convenient. Patients often had to drive across town, sit for hours in crowded waiting rooms, and walk away with a bill in the hundreds.
Today, the definition of urgent care is evolving. With 24/7 telehealth, urgent care no longer has to mean in-person clinics. Instead, it can live in your pocket—accessible anytime, anywhere.
Illness doesn’t respect business hours. Ear infections flare at midnight, flu symptoms strike on weekends, and anxiety can peak at 2am. Having round-the-clock care available ensures patients aren’t left waiting until morning or juggling packed schedules just to get treatment.
For parents, 24/7 telehealth means not having to wake up a sick child and drag them to a waiting room at 10pm. For workers, it means avoiding missed shifts or using precious PTO for something that can be resolved in minutes. For everyone, it means peace of mind that care is available the moment it’s needed.
While telehealth isn’t a replacement for the ER, it covers a surprisingly wide range of urgent issues:
Instead of long drives or crowded clinics, patients can access a provider from the couch, bed, or even while traveling.
24/7 telehealth doesn’t erase the need for emergency rooms or specialized in-person procedures. But it redefines urgent care by shifting focus to speed, affordability, and convenience. The care patients used to spend hours waiting for can now be delivered in minutes.

Ways Telehealth Can Help Busy Moms
Approximately one-third of America’s working women are also mothers who are trying to manage their children’s care and medical needs in addition to maintaining their own health and that ever-elusive work-life balance.
Lack of sleep associated with parenting in addition to exposure to stress at home and in the workplace leaves parents vulnerable to illness; when children get sick, a vulnerable parent will also. Telehealth is helping working moms and all parents to access pediatric care without the need to take time off work or school to travel to a doctor's office as well as wait to see a physician.
Parents can also access medical care for themselves instead of just trying to "get through the day" while ignoring symptoms. Now parents can get appropriate and effective treatment easily from the comfort of home while continuing to work or take care of children.

The PTO Dilemma: Why Healthcare Doesn’t Fit 9–5 (And How Telehealth Solves It)
For most of us, the math doesn’t add up. You wake up sick, call your doctor’s office, and the soonest appointment is… three weeks away. Even if you get lucky with a same-day slot, it’s usually in the middle of the workday. That means calling off, rearranging childcare, or burning through your hard-earned PTO for what often ends up being a 15-minute visit.
Healthcare is important. But let’s be honest—traditional 9–5 office hours don’t fit modern life.

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."
