Mission

Have you ever taken two to three hours out of your day so that you can drive to a doctor's office and sit in a waiting room where you are likely to be exposed to the latest virus going around? Have you ever gotten a surprise bill for medical services? Have you ever wondered why healthcare has to be so confusing and complicated? Like most people, I've dealt with the convoluted mess that is our healthcare system. I started Texas Telemedicine Doctor so that I could offer patients transparent, upfront healthcare delivered right to their phone, tablet, or desktop computer. Healthcare is inherently expensive, but way too often, it is more expensive than it needs to be. Using my background in pharmacy, I work with patients to help lower their medication costs. A surprising number of labs and radiology studies are actually quite affordable when paying cash, and practicing evidence-based medicine can help avoid unnecessary testing. Technology and other advances have made so many parts of our lives simpler and more efficient. It's time for healthcare to become a part of that.
