RingADoc is great to use when you have general questions or want a second opinion, you are having trouble scheduling an appointment with your normal doctor, or you are traveling. It is also a good option if you need a doctor after business hours and you have a non-emergency situation when the emergency room is your only other option. Overall, RingADoc is a great, high-quality alternative to clinics and urgent care centers, and is often cheaper.

There are some situations that RingADoc is not suitable for, however. If you have experienced severe injury or other medical trauma and need emergency treatment, call 911. RingADoc doctors also can’t prescribe DEA controlled drugs like most painkillers, or long term lifestyle drugs like anti-depressants. Also, since many conditions and medical problems need visual inspection and medical tests to diagnose, a call to RingADoc should never be used to replace a visit to your primary care physician. It can however, be used to determine if the symptom you have is something you should have your primary doctor inspect more thoroughly. If it turns out you were needlessly worrying, RingADoc could potentially save you from making a costly copay for an office visit that you didn’t need.
