How telehealth works for anyone

Telehealth connects you directly with licensed doctors through secure video calls on your computer or tablet. When you need medical care in Houston, TX, you can book an appointment in under two minutes online or through our app and meet with your chosen doctor the same day. Our doctors handle everything from routine checkups to urgent issues like infections and chronic condition management. You receive transparent pricing upfront with zero surprise billing, so you know exactly what you'll pay before your visit. After your appointment, you stay connected through 24/7 unlimited secure messaging with your Care Team for any follow-up questions. This gives you exclusive access to the kind of personalized medical attention that was once only available through expensive concierge practices. Need a work excuse or doctors note signed? We can handle that the same day you need them. Whether you're managing ongoing health conditions or dealing with a sudden illness, telehealth gives you medical care that fits your schedule instead of forcing you to rearrange your life around doctor visits.

I have been using PlushCare for 2 years now and have never had a bad experience. I wish I could say the same about doctors I have seen in person. They always listen, recommend, and follow up. Reminders are a must for me and they come in email and text. I can pull up any of my tests and doctors notes on the app. The convenience of anytime doctors is amazing! I have even used them when traveling across country.

It's a wonderful service! It's very difficult to schedule a visit with a primary care doctor in my area, everyone is booked out months. Waiting months is difficult if your doc wants to meet in person to prescribe you your daily meds! For me it's depression meds which are critical for my functioning. Having a PlushCare doc meet you at your convenience virtually for 5 minutes to simply send a prescription to your pharmacy is a godsend!

This is my second time using PlusCare in the past 10 months and it has been a very easy process and both Drs were very responsive and easy to work with. Sure beats waiting in long lines at a local facility!
