Can I select a specialist doctor?
Yes, DrHouse lets patients choose from available physicians and filter by preferences such as specialty, availability, ratings, and language. That means you can look for doctors who match the type of care you need, including areas like gynecology, weight loss treatment, pediatrics or family care needs, and other non-emergency telehealth services offered through the app.
Quick Answer:
- Patients can choose from available doctors in the app.
- Doctor selection can be based on specialty, availability, ratings, and language.
- Available options may include care types such as gynecology, weight loss, family care, and other non-emergency services.
- The list of doctors shown may vary based on your visit reason, insurance selection, and scheduling availability.
- Follow-up visits may be booked with the same physician when available.
How It Works
When booking a visit, patients enter the reason for the visit and choose whether they are using insurance or self-pay. After that, the app shows available physicians who match the visit details. Patients can then choose a doctor based on factors such as specialty, ratings, language, and appointment availability.
DrHouse physicians are licensed U.S. MD and DO doctors, and visits take place through secure video consultations in the mobile app. The platform is available in all 50 states and supports a wide range of non-emergency medical needs that are appropriate for telehealth.
What to Expect
The available specialists can depend on the type of care you are looking for. DrHouse offers services across categories such as women’s health, weight loss treatment, chronic condition management, prescription refills, primary care, and other common telehealth needs. During booking, the app helps match you with doctors who fit your visit type and preferences.
If you need ongoing care, you may also be able to schedule a follow-up with the same doctor later, as long as that physician is available.
Limitations / What to Know
Doctor choice depends on real-time availability. Not every specialist or physician will be available at all times, and some options may differ based on your state, the reason for your visit, and whether the doctor accepts your insurance. Some medical issues may also require in-person care rather than telehealth. Prescriptions and treatment plans are based on the physician’s medical evaluation and are not guaranteed.
