“I’ve used MedStar eVisit a few times when getting to an Urgent Care wasn’t possible, or I couldn’t see my primary care doctor right away. My most recent eVisit was due to the stomach bug, which my whole family was suffering from.

I felt comfortable describing rather non-flattering symptoms from the comfort and privacy of my own home. The healthcare provider was warm, comforting, and called a prescription in for me the same day. I told my wife to use MedStar eVisit for the convenience, efficiency, and privacy it affords. When an in-person appointment isn’t necessary or available, I always think of MedStar eVisit for 24/7 virtual urgent healthcare.”

-Andrew Snight, MedStar Health

Anyone in Maryland, DC, or Virginia can access virtual urgent care 24/7 with MedStar eVisit. See how easy it is and get the app today: http://ms.spr.ly/6186QNwNj.

Dr. Ngozi Wexler, OB-GYN and our chief medical officer, spoke with Afro-American Newspapers about why the conversation around menopause matters just as much as the care.

She shares tips for prioritizing your health during this phase of life and tackles the misconceptions she hears most from patients. No woman should have to navigate this stage of life in silence.
