What telehealth means for Oakland patients

Telehealth connects you with our board-certified doctors using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. You schedule your visit online, choose a time that fits your day, and speak with a licensed provider through a secure video call. No travel, no time off work, and no waiting rooms. Before your first visit, our doctors review your full medical history so they can focus on what matters most right away. Oakland patients use telehealth for preventive care, chronic condition check-ins, urgent concerns, medication refills, and much more. Instead of spending hours arranging appointments, picking up records, or chasing paperwork, you stay in control. Your doctor can send prescriptions straight to your pharmacy and order lab tests without needing to see you in person. We also handle specialist referrals through your insurance and set up follow-up visits for you. Many Oakland patients say this approach feels more personal and less rushed than in-person care. Our doctors have been featured in Healthline, Forbes, and ABC News, and they care for thousands of people in California each week. When your health is on your mind, fast answers from someone you trust can make all the difference. Book today and get care that fits your life.

Without insurance, appointments cost $129, which is much lower than typical clinic fees. We're in-network with most major insurance plans, making healthcare accessible regardless of your coverage status.
  • Will online doctors write prescriptions during telehealth visits?

    You need a doctor consultation before getting any prescription, but this happens through PlushCare's video or phone appointments.

Your prescription gets sent electronically to Oakland pharmacies, plus our discount card saves up to 80% on medication costs.
