American Well app review: connects you with U.S. Board Certified, licensed doctors securely from your mobile device-2020

Reviews

Introduction

If you have a medical situation but don’t have the time, patience, or money to book an appointment and visit a doctor in the flesh, then this online medical app enables you to connect with a fully licensed and accredited doctor directly from your iPhone and iPad. Welcome to the world of 21st Century medicine!

The best iPhone apps for doctors

I think that this is an absolutely fantastic idea for an online doctor app, and one that has been delivered with just as much expertise and professionalism as you can expect to receive from the very doctors that you’ll be able to connect with.

This app runs on devices with iOS 11.4 or later with support of up to iOS 14.0 and it is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It will need 197.7 MB of free memory space on your mobile device to download and install the app for booking appointments with.

No Appointments Necessary

I recently reviewed an app entitled goderma - online dermatologist which I praised for enabling people to anonymously get expert advice from trained dermatologists to save embarrassment and, of course, time.

I didn’t actually realize at the time, but American Well offers a somewhat similar service in that you can consult with a doctor from your mobile device. Of course, the difference here is that you can interact with doctors in real time!

In my opinion, this is an awesome innovation for the medical industry and I really would like to commend the developer for coming up with something like this. Although I lack an understanding of the inner workings of the industry, this seems like a step in a very positive direction.

Speak to a Doctor in Real Time

The doctors themselves all have profiles within the app, which you can peruse before making a decision, and there are also ratings from patients who have previously dealt with them. I like this idea a lot because you don’t just get lumped with the next available doctor, instead you can actually choose your own.

Final Words

American Well is almost certainly one of the best iPhone and iPad apps that I’ve come across in the Medical category of the App Store for quite a while, and I would like to very strong recommend it to any of you who don’t want the fuss of having to make appointments.

Sometimes a fear can be alleviated or an issue addressed very quickly by a competent doctor, and with this app you can get around waiting lists, prissy receptionists, and sometimes impersonal doctors who want you in and out of the office as quickly as possible.
