What Santa Maria members say about round-the-clock messaging support

Santa Maria patients message their doctor any time, day or night. It’s one feature that helps PlushCare earn a 4.9 out of 5 star rating. Read reviews from locals who found care that’s consistent, personal, and ready when they are.

Convenience especially when I need immediate medical care is the reason for my choice in having a Plush care Dr. As my primary care Dr. In, addition my Dr. Is professional, polite and always listens to what I have to say & involving me in the medical plan.

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.

Trustpilot

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!

Explore our FAQ for answers about online doctor costs, insurance coverage, prescriptions, mental health support, and care access. We're here to help you understand every step of the process.

How much do telehealth appointments cost in Santa Maria?
With insurance, most patients pay under $25 or just their copay to meet with our doctors. Without insurance, each online visit costs $129. That includes diagnosis and treatment from a licensed physician. It’s a simpler, more affordable option than urgent care or traditional clinics, with no surprise fees and the same high standard of care.
Can I get virtual medical care immediately?
Getting care online is simple. Choose your appointment, then talk with one of our trusted doctors in a private virtual visit. Our doctors are board-certified, treat a wide range of conditions, and can send prescriptions straight to your pharmacy. Care is available every day in all 50 states, with a process designed to make quality medical help easy and accessible.
How reliable are online doctor diagnoses?
You can get diagnosed by an online doctor. We can diagnose over 3,500 conditions including the flu, skin rashes, mental health symptoms, and more. Our doctors prescribe medication, manage long-term care, and share doctor’s notes when needed. Women's health support is part of your visit too, including help with hormone symptoms, birth control, or reproductive questions. It’s private, secure care from licensed doctors through a virtual visit on your computer or tablet.
Can I see online doctors without medical insurance?
You don't need insurance to see our doctors online. We work with most major health plans, and insured patients usually pay less than $25. Without insurance, each visit is $129. That’s often lower than a walk-in clinic. We keep pricing clear for both groups. Unlike other platforms, we serve patients no matter their coverage, with cost transparency built into every appointment.
Will online doctors write prescriptions during telehealth visits?
