Have you ever had trouble getting an appointment to see your doctor? It happens to me a lot. I end up scheduling an appointment for one or two weeks out, then something comes up and I have to cancel or reschedule at the last minute. I am left with my medical needs being unfulfilled.
This is a sponsored post to share my Amwell online doctor visit experience. They have generously offered About A Mom readers 50% off a $69 urgent care visit with coupon code Amwell50. Just click here to book your online Dr. visit.
The convenience of making an Amwell online doctor visit when I am sick has helped me stay at the top of my game, and I need my A Game at all times to keep up with my 11-year-old.
Like most moms, my calendar is full and my days are overbooked. Sadly, taking care of myself is one of the things that sometimes falls by the wayside. I used to be really about about not seeing a doctor when I was sick. I had a bad habit of convincing myself that it would go away on its own.
Amwell Online Doctor Visits are a Game Changer
I was really excited when I first learned that online doctor visits were a thing, and more so after my first couple of online doctor appointments went very well. What a convenience!
If you’re not sure about seeing a doctor online, I encourage you to give it a try the next time you’re feeling unwell.
I captured a few screenshots to show you how easy it is to setup your online doctor visit. Getting started at Amwell is simple. It took me literally a minute to enroll and create an account. Just click here to get started and use the Coupon Code Amwell50 to save 50% off a $69 urgent care visit.
The next step is choosing a doctor that is available in your state. Doctors are available 24/7. If the doctor you want to see isn’t available, you can make an appointment.
Before your Doctor visit begins, Amwell gives you the option to provide your health history. They also take you through a few quick tests to make sure the webcam and microphone on your computer are working. For your appointment, you can opt to do an online chat, video chat or telephone call.
My overall experience with Amwell online doctors has been a very positive one.
Earlier this month, I was traveling when I came down with a dreadful sinus infection. Being sick on vacation is the pits. I ended up losing half of a day sitting in the waiting room of an urgent care facility, instead of having fun in the sun. I really wish I had known then about the option to meet with an online doctor through American Well.

That certainly sounds like a very convenient service. I’m terrible about making appointments with my endocrinologist.
The medicial field is merging with technology! Thats cool and convenient!
Sounds like a great service! It would be so convenient to do an online doctor’s visit!
Wow this is pretty cool and will come in handy. Can they send in prescriptions if needed? Going to go check this out.
I didn’t get a prescription, but read that they can write and send electronically to your pharmacy. Give it a try and let us know!
I do prefer a one on one visit in person, but this is a great service when you just cannot or do not want to go to the doctor or the ER.
This sounds interesting. I would try this at least once but it would have to be for something minor.
Very interesting! I think this is great for traveling or if unable to drive, but I will always prefer in person! Thanks for the post!
That actually sounds awesome and inexpensive…. and by a previous comment, it saves time… especially if you’ve got strep throat and don’t want to deal with going out except to get a prescription.
It’s great that doctors are available online. It’s so hard to contact them through their secretaries. It takes a lot of phone calls to get through the line.
This sounds like a really great service to have! Thanks for sharing.
