Talk-free access to urgent care. Your way, on your time.
When you're under the weather and feel sick, sometimes it's hard to talk to anyone - let alone a doctor. And if your schedule is packed, finding the time and privacy can be nearly impossible. Jumping on a video or phone call isn’t always convenient.
MDLIVE E-Treatment1makes getting the care you need easier with no calls or live conversations required.
MDLIVE E-Treatment helps you connect to quality urgent care in a way that's easiest for you. Dr. Christina Chen, MDLIVE Senior Medical Director, explains why MDLIVE E-Treatment is one of our most convenient care options.
