North Shore Shape Up: Teladoc comes in handy during flu season

Teladoc is a great way to get quick, inexpensive care without making a trip to your doctor’s office.

Green Bay East teller Keri Tulys had this to say about her recent Teladoc experience:

This was my first time using Teladoc, and I must say I was very pleased with the outcome. The system is easy to use — registering and the health assessment took maybe 20 minutes, which was the longest part of the process. Once I finished the health assessment, I was able to request a consultation, and within minutes a doctor had called. He asked a couple questions regarding my illness and then diagnosed me and had a prescription sent to my pharmacy of choice, available for pickup in a just few hours. Teladoc is user-friendly, fast, and very convenient. I will be using it again in the future.
