How Treatment Works
During a virtual visit, a licensed physician:
- Reviews your symptoms and medical history
- Provides a diagnosis when possible
- Recommends treatment (medications, self-care, or referrals)
- May order lab tests if needed
Telehealth is widely used, according to the CDC, over 37% of U.S. adults used telemedicine in 2021, showing its growing role in managing common health conditions.
Limitations and What to Know
- DrHouse treats non-emergency conditions only
- Some issues require in-person exams, imaging, or procedures
- Prescriptions are not guaranteed and depend on physician evaluation
- Certain medications (like controlled substances) are not prescribed
