If you are an Apple Health user you will have the option to share important health information with your provider during your video visit.  Sharing Apple Health data is optional but allows the provider to see heart rate, weight, and other health information to help them make a more accurate diagnosis.

### 5/5 — Quick!

*2026-04-01, version 12.22.500*

My provider was kind and efficient. He the time to do some education with me. This service was also great. I have work today and would have had to ask for quite a few favors to leave early to go to urgent care. Very pleased.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-03-26, version 12.22.500*

Thanks!

### 5/5 — Flu

*2025-12-21, version 12.22.500*

Very quick and good service

### 3/5 — Once you get a provider it’s great

*2025-07-12, version 12.22.301*

Spent about an hour waiting for a provider. The first one almost immediately declined me. The second, I spent 30+ minutes waiting only to cancel and find out he was offline. The last one I was able to get ahold of within 15 minutes and the actual consult was very quick and professional.

For the app developers, I’d recommend making sure that if a provider goes offline while a patient is waiting, the patient is reassigned or notified that the provider is offline.

### 5/5 — Efficient

*2025-03-01, version 12.22.200*

It was easy to sign up. I did not wait long for a provider. Dr.Lee listened to me. We had a great conversation and he chose the best option for me at the time. 
I am very grateful for having the ability to utilize telemed visit and not going to urgent care to wait for two hours.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-02-09, version 12.22.200*

Spent over an hour setting up everything and waiting for my appointment just to get connected to a PA I couldn’t barely hear or see at all.  Talked about everything and said she put in a prescription and ended up the call. I let my review. My card was charged and she never put in my prescription.

### 4/5 — Quick and easy appointment but no insurance billing

*2024-09-20, version 12.21.103*

I was seen within 5-6 minutes of my request. I recently moved from Boston to WI 2 months ago and needed a vital prescription refill. I don’t have a PCP or mental health practitioner, yet. The PCP wait time is one year from now. Fortunately, I had a letter from my psychiatrist detailing my history and treatment plan. I was able to get my refill easily. The PA-C went through my entire chart to make sure my records were correct. She sent a note to the welcome of my new insurance provider about helping me find a PCP because ongoing care could be compromised. I have used telehealth for over 5 years and this experience was as good (somewhat better) than any I’ve had previously. 

The biggest problem is that the insurance verification system was offline so I had to pay $67 to be seen and will have to get reimbursed. Fortunately, I have an HSA so this wasn’t a barrier to receiving care but it could be for others.

### 5/5 — Video Visit

*2024-07-26, version 12.21.006*

Dr. Christopher Wither’s was very professional and assisted me well.  He ordered a prescription that I am able to pick up tonight.  If I would not have been able to connect with him I would of had to go to the ER when I returned to Madison, WI this evening.  Thank you for your service.  Patti Jackson

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2024-02-04, version 12.20.003*

The wait is kind of long, but at least we are home instead of doing the same wait out in public. So no complaints on wait time. The only issue I had was the repetition of adding insurance info. Our family all has the same insurance, so having to enter it in separately for each child was obnoxious.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-01-30, version 12.20.003*

Please work on your app, I have spent an hour trying to get an appointment. It would not take my card I had to speak with support twice and the second time when I thought it was fixed it kicked me off again. I tried my phone and computer and nothing worked. This was so frustrating, I hate dealing with the UW!
