I participated in a Blog Blast Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Doctor On Demand. I received a free trial coupon code to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
When you’re not feeling well, the last place you want to be stuck waiting is the doctor’s office or emergency room. Wouldn’t it be nice to see a doctor from the comfort of your own home instead? With Doctor on Demand you can do just that!
Doctor On Demand is a healthcare service that provides 15-minute Video Visits with board certified physicians, psychologists, and lactation consultants via a smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer.
I personally tried out the service a few months ago when one of my girls had a non-life threatening illness and our doctor was out of town. I could have seen the doctor on call, but I didn’t want to have to drag my daughter in and pay $80 for an office visit. I liked the idea of being able to see a doctor from the comfort of our own home for less than it would cost to go to the doctor’s office. It was easy to sign up and we were connected with a doctor in just a matter of minutes. I was happy with the outcome of the visit and would recommend trying it out!
Using the Doctor on Demand service is easy! Simply download the free Doctor On Demand app on your smartphone or tablet or visit www.doctorondemand.com on your desktop computer (keep in mind, it will only work on your desktop with the Google Chrome browser). After providing a list of your symptoms, you will instantly be connected to a provider licensed in your state for a video visit.
Rates vary based on what type of service you are looking for. A 15-minute Medical & Pediatrics visit is $40, while a 25-minute Psychologist session is $50. No insurance is needed and your insurance will not be contacted through Doctor On Demand.

Have you tried Doctor On Demand?
This is the best service ever! I knew I had a UTI, as I have had them over the years. It would have cost me $185 to see my doctor with insurance, only to have them see me for 5 minutes and submit a urine sample. Spoke to the Doctor on Demand and told him my symtoms and was confident that I had a bladder infection. Guess what? After picking up my prescription yesterday and already taking 3 of the 6 pills, I am feeling way better. Thank goodness! Wonderful service and no wait! Thank you! I am telling everyone about your service!
I tried doctor on demand last night. I signed up, put all information on and it told me my estimated wait time was 15 minutes, I was next in line. I waited for about 10 minutes. Then box popped up saying my wait time is 13 minutes. About 8 minutes then another boxed popped up saying all doctors were busy at this time and I needed to schedule an appointment. The box also read the next available appointment was for today at 715 am. What good is the app if you really need a doctor right now and you wait 18+ minutes for doctor then find out you can’t have video chat till the next day??.
Are prescriptions included with the $50 credit you receive on initial visit if needed?
Hi Tobi, they will prescribe a prescription if needed but you are responsible for the cost.
I need coupon cofes for free dr on demand first visit
I have mixed feelings about doctor on demand. I definitely don’t like going to the doctor’s office or emergency room, but I have the feeling we are already losing part of our humanity with all the computers. This may be pushing it too far for me. I mean a lot of doctors don’t treat patients like people already, what will happen when all we are is a bunch of disembodied voices and images on computers.
Thebpromo codes CFA&PENNY15 don’t work.
THE FOLLOWING PROMOS ALL WORKED FOR ME TODAY, THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE 🙂
CFAFREE1 – will give you your 1st visit free.
TWITTER20 – will give you a $20 credit, do not remember whether it was on first visit or next, sorry
CANDACE37 – will give you a $50 credit on your next visit.
I had my first appointment with Doctor on Demand today (Jan 13, 2015) and I couldn’t be happier. I was 95% sure I had a sinus infection and it was confirmed.
I’m really happy to have this service. The current temp is 5 fahrenheit and I really didn’t want to be out in that cold while sick. This was super convenient. I signed up, it took 2 minutes. My insurance accepts Doctor on Demand so the price was very, very reasonable. If I had gone to my own doctor in town, I would have paid $85 more. So, this was cost effective, convenient, and I didn’t have to go out in the cold!
I signed up and picked an appointment time and doctor. I was able to pick an appointment that started in just under an hour. Yeah! My doctor went to the University of Illinois, as I live in the same town of the UofI, I know that their medical program is solid and I felt confident picking her.
I had a great visit with Dr. Alba, she began the appointment right on time. I was diagnosed quickly. She was super friendly and I wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again. Big thanks to her! I can’t wait to feel better!
30 minutes after our appointment ended, I got a text from my CVS saying my prescriptions were ready to be picked up. That’s really convenient and fast.
Overall, I could not be happier with my experience today. I saved money, time, and the hassle of going to a waiting room full of sick people.

I used Dr on Demand for a tooth ache, the Dr was VERY kind, and knew the pain I was going through. He got my prescription called in and it was the easiest thing in the world! I will use this tool for as long as it is available, and I also tell my friends about it!!!
Great service!! Quick, I had got a real bad urinary track infection. Dr. On demand sent my prescription to Walmart pharmacy, I got better in one day..I would highly recommend!! No waiting in lobby with other sick people!! Got Dr over phone video. Nice& quick!! Less than 15 minutes!!
I love this service!!! I thought I had walking pneumonia again and Thank God this service is available. No trip to doctors office, no long waiting/ lines. My time zone was different but the difference was only 15 min. A real Doctor that zoned right in on my problem, took pictures and walked me through medication steps 1,2,3. The cost and time is so low. Awsome.
I tried the promo codes for a free visit but none work. I want to try this service and see if I like it. Are there any promo codes that will work right now?
Never mind. The service is not available in my state.
Anyone have a good code for 2017, need one for today and i cant find one?
I have been searching for 2017 codes with no luck. Very annoying as it seems there used to be many good ones. I need the free one then $10-$20 off the first visit as well. I have three sick kiddos who need to be seen, myself and then husband! I am not paying full price for all us on our first try. I would rather the ER just bill me. I am going yo keep searching in hopes of finding legit 2017 coupons.
Did you end up finding one or trying them out? Forgot to ask how you liked it if you did get a apt?!?!?
Code pls
Hi Lisa, not sure if either of these will work, but you can try Twitter20 to save $20 or MARCH5 to save $5.
None of the coupon codes I see posted here are not valid at least not anymore. If anyone knows a code for a free visit or money off a visit plesse share I’m very very sick and really need to talk to a Doctor. Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have any new codes for first visit?
I just received $10 off by using:
CANDACE37
Found it on a blog and it worked for this small amount!
Good luck!
I desperately need coupon codes/promo codes, too!! Where are they!! And what are they??!
Thanks!
