**Full Disclosure: I participated in a Blog Blast Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Doctor On Demand. I received a free trial coupon code to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
Before I tell you how to use Doctor On Demand, I want to tell you what it is. Doctor On Demand is a healthcare service that provides 15-minute visits with board certified physicians, psychologists, and lactation consultants through the use of a smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer.
Why does this matter? Have you ever gone to bed feeling crummy and gotten up only to know you have strep throat, a UTI or some other non-life threatening illness? Were you able to get a doctor’s appointment right away? If you are like me, probably not. With Doctor On Demand, you can get speak with a physician rather quickly without leaving the comfort of your pajamas home.
So, how do you use Doctor On Demand?
Download the Doctor On Demand app on whichever device you want to use.
Fill out your information.
*Note* Make sure you enter your free visit code when you register! The code will be stored in your account for use at a later time.
List your symptoms and connect with a physician in your state.
*Note* You can connect with the doctor right away or schedule an appointment at your convenience.
Insurance is not necessary and will not be contacted by Doctors On Demand. Using your free coupon code (below) your first visit is free. After that, medical visits are $40 for 15 minutes and psychologist visits are $50 for a 25 minute session.
While I have not had the need to use Doctor On Demand (thank goodness!), I’m glad I have the app installed and the coupon saved!
Would you use Doctor On Demand?
Use this coupon code for Doctor On Demand (value of $50.00): SARA15. This coupon will make your first visit free and would cover the cost of either one (1) Medical Video Visit or one (1) Psychologist Video Visit.

I love this! I honestly rarely go to the doctor because it takes forever to get in and you often have to wait. I’d be much more likely to give this a try before I go in to the office!
Jeannette says
This looks like it would be so helpful! I avoid the doctor because trying to go with two kids is always just a disaster so this would be really helpful to me!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
That sounds like a really convenient service. I would totally use it.
Mary O'Malley says
I’ve heard of this app before. I think it’s really great that you can get a hold of a doctor without having to leave your home.
Travel Blogger says
I used a similar service for nutrition and dietition but never for this area of medical expertise. I would love this for those times when i’m 99% sure I know whats going on and don’t really need an office visit but want that opinion.
Colleen says
It is amazing how technology is bridging medicine to your home. This is much more reliable then googling it LOL!
Sara Phillips says
Absolutely! I am awful about going to Dr. Google. This will help ease my nerves!
Stephanie says
What a great idea! I remember when my little one came down with chicken pox – the doctor wouldn’t even let her in the office. They had to look at her out the back door. Needless to say that was the last time we went to that doctor. I understand their reasoning, but they made her feel like some sort of freak of nature. No one on an iPad is afraid of germs spreading over the internet!
Sara Phillips says
Oh I would have been livid! I am glad you swapped docs after that. I do like that you don’t have to leave your home with Doctor On Demand.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
This is so great for anyone who has the creeping crud. More importantly, this is great for anyone whose child has the creeping crud. It’s NOT fun to drag a sick child out into the world.
Catherine S says
This sounds like a great service. What a great coupon code. I may use this I feel like I have a sinus infection.
Lindsey @ Redhead Baby Mama says
I think my husband is getting sick again… maybe it’s time to fire up the iPad for this!
Liz Mays says
I need to tell my family about this! This is going to be so useful for a ton of people.
Chasing Joy says
This sounds interesting amd trend setting. I imagine in the future more and more doctors will have Skype appointments.
Pam says
I love the idea of Doctor on Demand. My kids always seem to get sick when it’s the most inconvenient.
Stefani @ Mommy Musings says
I think this is such a great idea. Who wants to drag themselves into a doctor’s office full of sick people when they’re sick? Not me!
Christie says
We used this service for my sick son before. What a relief to get seen right away without the wait!
Crystal says
That is an amazing resource. I know that as a parent I worry about every sniffle, bump, etc. Having the access to a doctor will let me breathe a little easier.
Jeanine says
This is such a great idea! Would be perfect for me. When it comes to my kids I’m on top of all appts but myself? I rarely get to them!
Debbie Denny says
This is a wonderful program. Great way to get answers fast.
Veronica says
This is just a great service for when you need answers quickly. I am sure lots of folks will find this useful
Estelle says
This is such a great option to have for so many people. I like that you can find out information before even making an appointment.
Joyce Brewer (@MommyTalkShow) says
I wish I’d known about this when I had the flu this winter.
I had to struggle to drive myself to the doctor and pharmacy.
valerie g says
I think that is a super cool app. It would save so much time and energy. will have to check it out
Marina @ Mommy Snippets says
Doctor on Demand is awesome! I absolutely love their services. So convenient.
Kristin says
I really think this is a great option for people who can’t get into the dr office during the week.
Ann says
This is such an interesting app. We don’t have anything like that were I live but I would certainly use it.
Rosey says
I used this service. I think it’s pretty dandy, a great way to get the kids to the ‘doctor’ and get a doctor’s excuse w/o having to drag them out of the house with the flu.
Raijean says
This looks like such a great service. I really want to give it a try.
Camesha says
I love this. It sounds like a wonderful service. I’d definitely consider using it.
Danielle @ We Have It All says
Super cool App, i wish i had known about this when we had the flu. I didn’t feel like driving to the pharmacy.
