message pillars

  • text: Keep medical judgment with a real physician while AI helps intake.
  • text: Provide care through asynchronous messages without arranging a visit time.
  • text: Offer continuity with the same doctor.

objections

  • objection: Is AI making my diagnosis?
    response: The site says AI gathers intake and a licensed physician makes medical decisions; confirm the clinical workflow for your case.
  • objection: Can a doctor help me where I live?
    response: Check the current state and specialty availability before booking; published counts vary.
  • objection: What will a visit cost?
    response: Review the selected doctor's current price before paying; the website advertises a range and the standard matched visit separately.
