I had White Glove come visit me at work right before the holidays when I couldn't shake a cold I'd had for about a week. The doctor was friendly, thorough, and came prepared with even prescription medicine to get me through the next couple of days until my prescription would be ready at my pharmacy. He brought me a wellness kit which had various OTCs in it as well as soup, fluids and snacks. It saved me a lot of time (I would have had to take a half day if I'd wanted to see my family doctor) and energy. I love my family doctor but was willing to give this a shot if the doctor provided was friendly and he was so I'll definitely use this service again. While the cost of the visit is more than an office visit, you can use your FSA card to pay for it and they make up for it in courtesy, meds and grocery items provided. I expect that the visit cost will go down as more people begin to take advantage of this mode of healthcare. I will be interested to see how this departure from the current paradigm in pans out in the future.
Pros: They come to you, doctor was friendly, phone staff were friendly, lots of sick supplies provided
Cons: Charge is more than an office visit, you don't get to choose your doctor (but if they're all nice, I don't care!)
