Review content:
After my two daughters were diagnosed by their pediatrician with ear infections and bronchitis, I didn't know what to do to get routine care for MYSELF. They were contagious, so I couldn't drop them off at a friend's house or ask someone to come babysit them. And, of course, the last thing I wanted to do was take them to the doctor's office with me.
A friend referred me to WhiteGlove and I wondered, ""This can't really be true."" I also figured that even if it WERE true, it would probably cost a fortune.
I logged onto their Web site and not only realized that this service DOES exist, but that it's covered by my insurance. I immediately made an appointment.
The nurse practitioner was at my house at 6:00 on the dot. She came into my living room, took my vitals, checked my ears, nose and throat and assessed my symptoms. She diagnosed me with viral bronchitis and proceeded to write out a plan for getting well soon. She also gave me some generic prescription meds and wrote out a scrip for some cough medicine (by law, she can't carry it around with her since it's narcotic. Otherwise, I don't doubt that she would have given me the cough medicine as well!).
As she was leaving, she handed me a ""Well Kit."" It was a box containing Advil, Tylenol, cough drops, Gatorade, ginger ale, chicken soup, apple sauce, Jell-O, crackers and Kleenex. After checking to make sure I didn't have any questions, she left.
This was the most incredible experience of my life. Not only did I get excellent care, but the visit was not rushed or in any way stressful. I felt like the NP had the time for me and was willing to do whatever it took to make me comfortable.
The fact that it only cost me my usual $20 co-pay was just the icing on the cake. I don't think I could have purchased the items in the Well Kit for $20! But not only did I get all of that, I also got a house call and medications for my money.
Does it seem too good to be true? Yes, it does, but in this case, it's NOT. Please do not hesitate to give this service a call. You will NOT be disappointed and you just may never step foot in your doctor's office again.
