My doctor is not only knowledgeable about my health , she has a sense of humor also. Keeps the visit from being boring but more engaging
My therapist is amazing and easy to talk to and always has good stories and examples of things that I can relate to. She makes me feel heard and that I am going to be okay.
Easily accessible
At first I felt the checkup was too much , but it is nice to know someone cares

I wish the check ins were more well rounded in mental health, depression and anxiety aren't the only mental health issues people suffer with. I wish there were check-ins related to bipolar and ADHD and PTSD. This seems to be a very basic solution to the most severe issues. It's impossible to describe my mental health under only 2 categories. And trying to sells me short and makes true healing at my core impossible. Also more variety in the self care section would be great, only offering videos is a very slack way of offering "self care" options.
So helpful. So easy. I love it!!
Great therapist
This is top tier healthcare, online. Very personalized, highly qualified and professional- they aren’t trying to switch your healthcare plan as their main goal like I’ve experienced in the past. I’ve been through many workshops, therapists and expensive psychiatrists. I’ve gotten some interesting insights and some benefits but was surprised at the prescriptions and often rude and disingenuous demeanor. This feels like a fantastic office visit to a very reputable esteemed medical group. I have actually achieved real progress. Very happy thus far.
Reliable, quick response and trustworthy
They are always available 24/7! Very helpful
My doctor is patient and understanding
I cancelled my membership and now they are charging me double than what they did before. I wanted a God fearing therapist but didn’t get it. Most of the appointments well all, she didn’t give me advice she only said this is about you you lead everything you direct how you want things to go n I was mostly the talker. For my first time trying therapy I don’t see how it’s something that’ll save my life when it didn’t seem to be a great outlet. I said I didn’t want to be put on pills but that’s what they love to do to you n kept suggesting it n wanted to take away parts of my membership n did just bc I didn’t want to be pregnant on meds.
I was informed that my plan covers virtual visits and that I owe $0 for both the visits and the membership, but I was still charged $167. The company should improve how they verify insurance as my current insurance plan covers all virtual visits without a copay.
I am pleased with my care. The system is easy to use.
Did not receive any services yet I was charged 95 dollars for the deception used on the bright side home page... Bottom of the barrel company without integrity...
Great drs they really do care about what you have going on and very knowledgeable with mental health
