Beacon Connected Care

I didn’t have to drive and rush to my appointment. No worries of being stuck by trains, farm equipment, construction, where to park or weather issues. There was a little technical issue reason for giving a 4 & not a 5. It did froze once but only 5 sec. or so, but never had any strange voices, not echoes, picture was clear. I have used others live stream apps. This was easy to use. Hopefully I will be able to use this app again for a live appointment. Oh, if needed, another person could be added to the call if needed you would want to them to be live with you, but didn’t pick that option.

My son is sick with a virus and I already took him to his pediatrician. She determined it to be a virus, but he has new symptoms today that are not serious. I just needed to get advice on over the counter symptom relief medicine and didn’t want to wait on hold then wait for the nurse to call back. I also thought of new questions as I was speaking with the doctor and he answered them. This visit was extremely helpful. I love our pediatrician, but this was a quick and easy way to get the advice I needed.

I just used this app for the first time. I would have waited more than three hours for an in-person visit according to Beacon’s “save my spot” process. Instead I got the app, took a photo of my poor sore throat, provided some basic info and waited about 15 minutes snuggled under my covers at home. My doctor was great and my husband is already picking up my RX. It’s a cost savings too as the visit is only $59. Highly recommend the service.
