What do you like best about Teladoc?

There was nothing worth saying that they did well because they didn't actually do anything at all for me except to steal $25 from me!!!!!!!!!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teladoc?

I used them because they said they could prescribe Paxlovid. When I spoke with a doctor, he said that's not true, they cannot prescribe it. I asked for a refund and they said that they don't give refunds and I should have known that they were lying before the call happened. They cited terms that I never actually saw or agreed to.

What problems is Teladoc solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had COVID and I was on vacation at the time not near an urgent care center, so I was looking to get a prescription sent in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teladoc?

Nothing. Although I will say that the Website is easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teladoc?

Firstly, their Website conveys the messaging that doctors can prescribe certain types of medications, at the individual doctor’s discretion. That would be reasonable, if true! However, in reality, doctor’s are prohibited from writing prescriptions for certain types of drugs. In my case, this was for a sedative-hypnotic (Ambien or Lunesta) for extreme insomnia (3 nights of absolutely zero sleep). The doctor told me, in unambiguously terms, that’s he’s not even permitted to enter such types of drugs in the system.

So, why does the Website infer the contrary in a misleading manner?

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I got the “Terms and Conditions” thrown in my face – metaphorically speaking – when I politely request a refund. Of course, I signed up for TelaDoc in a state of near-delirium owing to the emergency situation of needing a sleep-aid and knowing that seeing a real doctor in-person would take too long. I question – and vehemently oppose – the practice of requiring cognitively-impaired individuals to sign a binding legal document. I imagine that a non-trivial percentage of TelaDoc’s “patients” are in such a state of urgency and with cognitive impairments.

I submit that such a practice is predatory, and grounds for a class action suit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teladoc?

There is a lot to dislike about Teledoc. What they don't tell you is that it's more for an emergency service and they don't really give you more than a prescription that only last one round. I called teledoc for a prescription I have been taking for years but they didn't explain that they didn't give refills. They didn't explain anything at all!

They are also more expensive than visiting a primary care doctor so while you think it saves you time and money, it really doesn't. Once you get a claim, which takes forever, and a prescription you can't refill it will end up costing more time and money by using Teledoc cause they did not really try to help solve your issue. Just put a quick bandaid on whatever you have and then charge you.

They could have been more upfront about cost or explaining what teledoc is actually for, but they deceptively do not explain anything so people think it's could be a good service. But it's just another shady service out for your money and not you for your health.

Don't recommend to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teladoc?

I love the option to use Teledoc instead of having to go in person for an appointment. All the providers I have used for me or my family members have been able to help quickly and appropriately.

We were able to get prescriptions quickly when needed. The option to send images ahead of time to the provider helped with diagnoses. The video call option is great to see and hear the doctor during the consultation.

Our company offered Teladoc with no co-pay. You have 24/7 access to the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teladoc?

Sometimes there was a wait but it was not too long and you were notified of the approximate wait time and offered an option for a callback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teladoc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Teladoc costs less than an in-person office visit. No co-pay is required for our plan. Teladoc visits are more convenient and save time and gas compared to an in-person appointment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teladoc?

Teladoc is an online solution where medical history and information can be uploaded and provided. Medical professionals can access this data to provide services in the virtual space, which is a more cost-effective way to meet medical needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teladoc?

There could be some concerns about liability if there were to be a more serious medical condition that an online consultation would not be adequate to provide a diagnosis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Teladoc:

Consider your medical history and medical conditions to determine how Teladoc can partner in your overall health care. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teladoc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Teladoc has assisted in the decision-making process as to whether symptoms warrant a trip to the emergency room or if staying home and making an appointment with the doctor is the better course of action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teladoc?

The appointments were easy the schedule and the doctors were able to treat my daughters symptoms without me having to take her into the office. The care provided was professional and services were easy to access and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teladoc?

I did not find anything that I disliked about this service. Everything worked out from signing up, filling out paperwork and being seen. I was glad that I did not have to wake up my sick child to see the doctor I could just discuss her symptoms with them and was provided treatment options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teladoc?

Talking with a doctor on short notice was helpful for an acute condition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teladoc?

Receiving a prescription that the doctor did not preauthorize has been super unhelpful. And, two days later, I'm still without my prescription. Not sure if this is training or systems integration, but it's been the worst experience while not feeling well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teladoc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Telehealth diagnosis based on symptoms. Speaking with a medical professional who's experienced in handling urgent care/emergency related health concerns. The diagnosis was helpful until I can see my primary care doc next month, however, it's only half way there if I'm spending hours trying to jump through hoops to get my actual prescription filled without paying out of pocket and hoping that the insurance company reimburses me down the road. Our healthcare system is so broken in the U.S.

The Contact UX is also terrible. Nobody responds to service requests for a day and whoever responded seems to not read the initial request well or is unable to put the information together. So, then, submit another message that will then take another day to receive a response. Totally inefficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Teladoc?

Before using Teledoc I would set up doctors' appointments, try to get off of work, sometimes wait several days to be seen, and then pay for a complete doctor's visit while I rearrange my life to get in. Now, if another member of my family or I need medical attention, I know that all we have to do is pull up Teledoc, and we will be able to video chat with a doctor right away, even in the middle of the night. We can work around our schedule, stay in the comfort of home if needed, and only pay a fraction of the price that we would have for a complete doctor's visit. We have taken care of our physical health as a family so much better with this convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teladoc?

The only downside of Teledoc is that it doesn't provide everything that a complete doctors' visit would include because the doctor is on a screen. For example, if my child has an ear infection, Teledoc couldn't see into her ear, so that would be a situation where it would be better to go into a physical doctor's office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Teladoc:

If you are debating about using Teladoc, you need to try it once. You will not be disappointed. I finally convinced my husband to try it when he needed an antibiotic. He hung up with the doctor in about 5 minutes and said, "Wow, that was easy." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teladoc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Teledoc has eased some of the pressure on the medical community right now by being able to quickly see patients without needing them to come into the office physically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick to make appointments. Not redeemable otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teladoc?

Doctors at teladoc cannot prescribe most medications. They will recommend a medication, say they can't prescribe it, and literally hang up on you. If you ask for a refund, they will point to a loophole in the fine print of their agreement to avoid giving you a refund. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Teladoc:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teladoc solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a telehealth provider since I travel across the country and live in a different state every month. Teladoc actively prevents you from receiving medical care. The only difference between before and after my appointments are that they have my money that they scammed from me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
