Doctor on Demand APK for Android

With Doctor on Demand, you can video chat with a licensed, US-based doctor for 15 minutes for $40. The app won't stand in for all your medical needs, but it looks good and works well.

Pros

Straightforward and quick: Doctor on Demand connects you with an MD in just a few minutes. All you have to do is set up a payment method, enter your symptoms, mention allergies or meds you are taking, and place your call.

Video or voice only: If you don't feel like video chatting, you can place a voice call instead -- a nice option if you just don't feel like having your image displayed.

Handy while traveling: Since you can connect with a physician anytime, this app could be extremely useful when you're traveling, especially if no licensed doctor is available near your location.

Cons

Limited usefulness: It's not a flaw of the app, but Doctor on Demand doesn't replace an actual visit to the doctor's office. You can get prescriptions for certain drugs (not pain medication), but for a definitive diagnosis you'll need a physical examination and tests.

Bottom Line

Doctor on Demand can give you a quick, convenient consultation and may put your mind at ease, but for most people, it isn't a must-have app. It's only for mild conditions -- don't be surprised if the doctor you talk to recommends that you visit your regular doctor for an examination. Doctor on Demand is better than a Google search but not a replacement for your MD.
