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.

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.
