Amwell ~ Quality Online Doctors Visits For The Busy Lives We Lead! #MOMSLOVEAMWELL
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Mums The Word Network and Amwell. All opinions are 100% my own.
It is no secret that I have had a crazy summer. Anyone that knows me has heard all about it. My family has been plagued with tons of health issues and I have been running my mom and dad around regularly, to and from doctors appointments. Once everything seemed to calm down and my parents were in good health, I was ready to get back into my regular routine. Finally 🙂 I have been trying to make the most of what is left of my daughter’s summer vacation and selected a gorgeous and hot day to go to the beach. It was a fabulous day for sure until my daughter got a little too much sun, even after using tons of sunscreen. We got home and she took a cool shower, applied some aloe to her skin and laid down to rest as she was really tired and hot. It really is no biggie right? Wrong… she broke out with a horrible rash on her shoulders, so I decided to take a preventative course of action and contacted a Doctor through Amwell to help me figure out my next course of action when it came to my daughters health and well being. It was not a major emergency and I did not feel like spending hours running to and from the doctors office as well as waiting in the waiting room for who knows how long….. which is what truly makes American Well (Amwell) so amazing. With the crazy busy lives we live today. It is no secret that time is of the utmost importance and a visit from home via my computer was the way to go.
Real quick, let me tell you a little about Amwell. Amwell is the nation’s largest telehealth company, connecting its users with board-certified, licensed doctors, dieticians and psychologists for immediate and live, online visits. You can visit anytime of the day or night via either your mobile phone or desktop computer. Some of the general reasons people use Amwell for the convenience of a doctors visit at home are….. minor illnesses and injuries, general health and wellness concerns, prescription refills and chronic condition management. Amwell employs primary care, specialist physicians, licensed behavioral therapists and registered dieticians to meet their patients’ health and wellness needs. Their doctors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are truly dedicated to keeping you and your family healthy. It does not get any better than that for convenience and quality care in the comfort of your own home.
Now back to the issue at hand which is what to do about my daughter’s sunburn accompanied by a rash on her shoulders? The picture above is the pic I used for my virtual visit in order to show the doctor what the rash looked like. I simply chatted with the online doctor about the issue on my home computer and it was super easy and simple. When you schedule your online visit you are able to choose from a list of available doctors as well as view their profiles to make sure they are the perfect match for your needs. My wait time was between 5 to 10 minutes and I used the time to organize my desk area while I waited. Once the doctor was available to see me… the web camera opened up and I was able to see the doctor via my computer. We chatted and I told her about the visit to the beach and the sunburn accompanied by a rash. She asked a few questions and gave me instructions on how to treat it from home, and also let me know that if it did happen to get worse and the symptoms did not go away within a few days, to visit my daughter’s local doctor. I was already applying cool rags to her shoulders and applying aloe to relieve the sunburn pain as well but as advised by my online doctor….added in a dose of Tylenol to relieve the pain and made sure she stayed out of the sun and/or was covered properly when we did have to go outside. Sure enough…. the rash subsided and her burn turned to a tan and then peeled… but she was OK and no longer in any pain after 1 to 2 days. The advice the doctor gave me was spot on and I loved saving a trip to the doctors office all while being provided amazing care from the comfort of my home. It truly saved me time and money.
Here she is feeling better and in turn I feel better 🙂
I am so happy that I was able to use Amwell’s online doctor service to treat my daughters sunburn and rash. I saved my family time and money and my daughter was able to heal and get better because of the comforting advice given to us via Amwell and their online doctor visit. Amwell is perfect for minor illnesses and injuries, general health and wellness concerns, prescription refills and chronic condition management. Their doctors can even prescribe medications and refer you to doctors for follow-up care if needed. So…..Instead of wasting valuable time at a doctors office, simply visit an Amwell online doctor from the convenience of your home. Watch this fabulous video which shows how amazingly easy it is to talk with a doctor online when and/if you need it. It is so simple and now better health is in the palm of your hands… with Amwell!

Christina G.
This sounds like a great service. I’d love to try it. Thanks for sharing!

This just sounds so convenient for non emergency type medical needs. Thanks for the code! I’ve saved it and will use it this winter if we need a medical consult.
Cassidy ciazza morelli
This is a great alternative compared to germy offices
Quanda
Never heard of Amwell until just now. It sounds like a great and convenient healthcare service.
Marilyn Nawara
This would be great — wish my doctors would start this.
Geri Sandoval
Never heard of Amwell, sound like a wonderful service more doctors should have it. Most of the time parents wonder if they should go to the urgent care or just wait until the morning when they can call the doctor’s office, time wasted, sometimes if the child is really sick and needs help right away.
Debbie Welchert
This service sounds really great. I have five grandchildren and one of them is always sick or hurt or whatever, you name it. It would be so nice just to be able to turn on the computer and visit the doctor without going out for illnesses or injuries that are not serious….
Avery Wilponen
This sounds amazing!
Barrie
What a great service, saving time and money! I’ll have to remember this the next time it’s warranted!
Carolyn Massey
I didn’t know this service exsisted so thanks for the heads up. With 2 small children in the house this would be so useful. I don’t know if my insurance would cover it. I didn’t read on how much the service was just the 1st visit was a dollar with coupon code.

I wish they had this service here. I have had doctors appointments all summer never end

A very interesting, helpful and necessary application of today’s technology!
Leslie Crosbie
Is Amwell available in Canada? Probably because a huge benefit would be when on Out of North America vacation, enable you to access trusted advice!! Worldwide makes sense, what a good thing to have!
Cindy Merrill
There’s no mention of payment. Is this a free service?
mcushing7
HI…. I believe the normal charge is $49 but they do accept insurance plans (have to check on plan by plan basis depending on provider) PLUS with the code in the article you receive first visit for $1. Worth checking out if you are in need 🙂 Great service!
monique s
this is such a valuable service. I like that it accepts insurance plans
Maryann D.
This is a super idea and so convenient. You have nothing to lose for the first visit too!
Ivonne
That’s a pretty neat service and very useful not having to leave the house in the middle of the night when a situation arises. Love the fact that the first visit is only $1 and is covered by insurance plans ~ glad your daughter is ok now!!

It’s the worst being sick and not being close to your doctor. I think Amwell is a great service for families.

gloria patterson
this sounds like a service that all parent should have access to. there are times it would really be handy to just check in with questions or problem
Sam L
Wow! That is really cool! I really believe all parents should get in on this!
Karen Glatt
I do not drive and have to get my sister to take me to the doctor, so an online visit would be great for those times when I can not get out. I will have to check out this service!
gloria patterson
good program that more people should learn about
Marilyn Nawara
This is a terrific idea — I would use it.

This sounds like a great service that’s so easy and convenient! This would definitely come in handy for my family!
Pamela Gurganus
I’ve been hearing and reading a lot around the internet about Amwell. The more I read, the more I’m intrigued and impressed. I’m definitely going to read into them more. I’m thinking they would not only be a good service for my family, but also for my elderly parents. Thank you for sharing your thoughts/review/information!
denise low
I would rather check this out than to go to a doctor anytime.
Jessica G
This is really neat. My doctor is a bit of a drive. I’m going to look into this.
Maryann D.
I really never heard of Amwell before this. I think it is a super idea and with the technology we have now this is a useful service.
Debra Holloway
What a great service to have. It would make things more convenient living out in the country.

I need to try this. My kids always get sick at the most inconvenient times and places.

This sounds like a great service. I’d love to try it.

This is a great idea! Will probably come in handy often as my daughter gets older.
gloria patterson
something that many parents should know about but they don’t ……..
Alejandra Carreno
Great idea! Really wish this was around when my son was little. I worked more back then. But still great to have.
Gabrielly
Thank you for sharing.
Gabrielly
Great service. I would love to try.
Elissa Mahler
Sounds like a helpful service. I will be looking into this.
Lynda Del
I have never heard of this company before, but l like the concept. I would be willing to try it.
Cheryl Everitt
This is an awesome program. I am not as busy as young mothers, but I am a senior and I live in a rural area. I am checking to see if this is available for me.
Sarh S
Amwell sounds like a very useful tool! I don’t have my own car so when the kids get sick it’s not always so easy to get them to the doctor.
Angela Ingles
I love that it is available 24 hours a day. I hate having to take off work to go to the doctor or take my son to the doctor. And, sometimes, there is something that happens at night that can’t wait until morning (like when he had an allergic reaction last week right before bed and needed advice on how to treat my two year old). Thanks for sharing this.
Jo-Ann Brightman
This is the first time I have heard about Amwell. although there are other virtual doctor services in this area. It certainly does save time if the issue is not a major one and it relieves anxiety about what to do too.
Jaclyn Anne
I love having the option to visit a doctor right from home! So much more convenient than having to go into the office, especially when you (or your little one) is sick!
Gabrielly
This sounds like a great service. I’d love to try it
Billie Beal
Seem like every parent should get this kind of help ,such a great ideal and so helpful for those busy momma…
Jess Benoit
Ohhh I know all too well the nastiness of sunburns here in FL. 🙁 I have used another online doctor service before and know that it is so convenient. Thank you so much for the code..I’m sure it will come in very handy with a house full of sickys.
