SkyMD 24 7 Telehealth Reviews

First of all, expect a totally different experience with this company if you were going through insurance. I listed that I had Medicare and it listed five doctors that it said excepted Medicare. Then I went through the whole 40 minutes of entering information, my insurance card, my drivers license and pictures of my face only to get a text back later that was supposedly from the doctor I chose, that I couldn’t open on my iPhone because it require downloading SkyMD247Telehealth and SkyMD247Telehealth doesn’t show anything other than advertisements. Luckily, I was able to download SkyMD247Telehealth on my iPad to see that I got a message from a supposed medical asstThat said that the doctor I chose did not accept my insurance so she would have to assign me a different doctor and because I was going through insurance, they would require an actual telehealth visit on computer which I thought was required of any telehealth visit (Computer or phone contact with the doctor) but apparently, if you pay cash on here, no, Dr. ever hast to see or speak with you. For all you know, a secretary is prescribing your medication. The fact that SkyMD247Telehealth doesn’t work on iPhone and that they don’t update the doctors that accept her insurance, or just to measure headaches that make SkyMD247Telehealth a waste of time. but if you’re willing to pay $80 cash (which is what I should’ve just done), you can likely get whatever you need prescribed same day instead of going through the clown show I did.

It appears they diagnosis and continue to try to recommend the same treatments that don’t work. Not sure if it’s because they work with the supplier company or what. For 4 months I was treated for a issue that did not get any better, just worst. I finally was able to see a local derm in my city who said they SkyMd misdiagnosed me and the treatment they gave me was not going to help at all. The local derm advised I had perioral dermatitis gave a treatment for 4 weeks and it started clearing up. I believed the dermatitis was coming back more recently which after research it has been known to do. It was going to take several weeks to get back to the local deems office so I thought I would reach back out to SkyMd and see if they could assist before the dermatitis got worst again. They where again trying to treat for the previous condition that was not effective and did nothing for me because that was not the issue. In my opinion this service was not effective & they just keep going to a certain diagnosis/ treatment plan no matter what your issue is.

The doctor who I was assigned to wasn’t sensitive to my needs at all. I explained I've been dealing with rosacea on and off for about twenty years, and needed my skin looking nice again, because as most people, masks have done a lot of damage.
All I got was an alternative sunscreen and a facial wash!!!
The norm for rosacea is antibiotics that target the inflammation. I had to message him about ten times to get a meager two month minocycline prescription. When my skin breaks out I feel very low and depressed— and he wasn’t sensitive to that at all.
I don’t remember his name, but he was terribly scared to prescribe antibiotics. I’m not asking for Vicodin for God’s sake, I just want better looking skin. Very sad. I’m definitely going to ask for a different dermatologist next time— IF there is a next time.
There is a fantastic dermatology company called Apostrophe— I suggest using that, and not this one. The doctors are very sensitive to your needs, experienced, and it only costs $20.

I really wanted to love SkyMD because it was so quick and I received a response so soon (within the day) But my doctor was very clinical and came off as very condescending when I described my skin issues. He would correct me when I was describing what was wrong with my skin and perhaps he was trying to educate me but I’m not a doctor. If I knew exactly what all my skin issues were, I wouldn’t be asking for help.

I tried being kind because I didn’t want to assume anything but he continued to talk to me as if I was an idiot every time I asked a question. It’s extremely discouraging when you’ve been dealing with an issue for a long time, are paying to have it solved, and get treated poorly for asking questions. I understand that the doctor probably just wanted to finish the appointment and move onto his next patient but it felt very dehumanizing.

I still appreciated the service and will probably continue to use it. But I hope my next doctor is less rushed and I could leave the experience without feeling bad about myself.

I never review anything but I had such a good experience with SkyMD247Telehealth so here I am. I’ve been breaking out since the 6th grade. I have tried literally everything. Proactive, curology, every topical over the counter product as well as prescription. No dermatologist I’ve been to has believed me when I’ve said there’s a hormonal component to my acne even though it happens like clock work each month. I submitted my info and pictures at 9am and by 5pm that same day I had a diagnosis and treatment plan from Dr. Meunier. She took into account everything I said, hormonal factors, stress and diet. She called my pharmacy for me and when a cream she prescribed was out of stock she ordered it from another pharmacy herself and had it shipped to me for free. I never even had to enter my card information because it was all covered by my insurance. My treatment plan was so thorough and detailed. If you’re having skin troubles please try this out!!

Started to suffer from acne over the last 14 months. I hit 31 and boom my face broke out literally out of no where and kept getting worse. Went to a dermatologist who used one topical with no improvement. She dismissed my self esteem problems. Went to a second dermatologist who offered oral medicine that worked great until I experienced a side effect from the sun. That dermatologist said we will put you on medicine in the fall and winter and take you off for the spring and summer. So basically I was to just deal with acne in my 30s for half of the year. Thank goodness I found Dr Calame! She listened to my concerns and did not minimize what I was dealing with. She cares about her patients. She explained in detail what the treatment plan will be and WHY. This is a complete no brainer. You can get an instant appointment from a doctor who is the best I have ever seen. All treatment is in writing which makes it great to refer back to. I will never look back and recommend this to anybody who is frustrated with any skin condition!

I’ve put off visiting a dermatologist for years because I didn’t want to go somewhere without make up on or be told that I need to take a potent oral medication. I’m super grateful the doctor not only gave me a topical prescription, but he diagnosed the type of acne I’m experiencing, and gave me a complete face care regimen to follow with specific over the counter products to use.
I appreciated the quick evaluation, within 1 hour on a Sunday afternoon. I loved that I didn’t need to make an appointment or go in to an office. The doctor also took into account my preferences when giving me a prescription. My prescription was ready at my pharmacy within an hour of receiving the evaluation.

I was struggling to find a good dermatologist local to me. I had called at least 6 offices and only one answered and they gave me an appointment date for months away and that wasn’t going to work for me. I was researching other options and decided to give this a try. I ended up spending around $75 which is not bad at all considering the convenience of everything. I would much rather pay for this service and get a response in 2 days than wait forever to get consulted in person. I loved the experience of SkyMD247Telehealth. Answered a couple questions, submitted photos and got the results and prescriptions in days. Loved the experience. I would totally recommend SkyMD247Telehealth to others

I’ve had my fair share of visits to dermatologists, and I have to say, the dermatologists that I’ve met through SkyMD are absolute best! The ability to access them almost instantly virtually during the COVID-19 lockdown is a huge added bonus, especially when I am unsure if I absolutely need to pay a visit to the doctor. SkyMD247Telehealth is easy to use, and the push notification works well to inform me whenever the doctor has a response to my question, which is super convenient. My husband used it too to get a quick and thorough diagnosis which he would not have gotten if this did not exist, as he hates physical visits to the doctor. I highly recommend utilizing the SkyMD virtual dermatologist services for any of your skin care needs!

I have insurance but it’s crappy. I’m already going to be paying a lot out of pocket, and because getting a referral is so ridiculous for me, my insurance was quoting $175/consult. So the fact that it’s only $80/consult with outtttt insurance is AMAZING. I was looking for a convenient (and safe) way of getting myself treated for my acne that I should have dealt with when I became an adult and it wasn’t going away. Not a lot of similar-ish apps can or will try to do this kind of treatment (accutane since I had tried everything else to that point). It means a lot that you guys could and we’re able to get me treatment. My acne is clearing up and I am so happy and looking forward to being mostly fully clear. Thank you so much for helping me on this journey. Thank you also Dr. Wright!

I was so pleased with my service from SkyMD. The “check-in” was simple and thorough so when a dermatologist reviewed my “chart” he was able to make the right diagnosis quickly. Having poison ivy covering 15% of my body was not fun so the quick turnaround was key! And not only did I get prescriptions sent to my pharmacy within an hour of downloading SkyMD247Telehealth , I had Dr. Peppercorn who turned out to be a great physician with a GREAT sense of humor. He joked with me in the chat about my insurance not covering a gardener (since I got poison ivy weeding) and was very enjoyable to chat with. Did not make me feel dumb when I asked questions and reassured me of all of the possible side effects/lack thereof of the prescriptions he prescribed. Will use them again if I have another medical emergency that doesn’t warrant an ER visit!

I have been an acne sufferer for the past 17 years. I have paid thousands of dollars to dermatologist over the years with no real results. This is the first time ever that I have had a doctor listen to me about my problems, take into consideration my suggestions, and actually create a treatment plan to help me clear my skin, as well as a plan of action for what we would do once it has cleared.
Dr. Calame was quick to respond and she had my prescriptions called in a few hours after my online visit. What impressed me the most is that she did not just prescribe me one medicine, she prescribed me an oral treatment, medicated wash, and topical leave on solution. Most importantly she has chosen a non antibiotic medicine for me to start as soon as we get my acne under control. I could not be happier and I can’t wait to share my experience with others.

I can't count the times SkyMD247Telehealth/these dermatologists have saved my skin! It's near impossible to find an in-person Derm on any kind of short notice & they'd def charge more than $80
I've suffered with perioral dermatitis, subclinical acne, alopecia areata, among other more minor (temporary) skin conditions. Each time, they've been quick to diagnose the issue & help me figure out what the best course of action is to tackle it/solve it as quickly as possible.
I always appreciate that I can get near-immediate answers to any questions I have whether they're about my problem at-hand or about the diagnosis or treatment plan
I highly recommend SkyMD247Telehealth to anyone looking to have better skin & I tell people on a regular basis that my dermatologist is online because it's SO MUCH BETTER than waiting 6/9/12 months with whatever is ailing your skin to see the same kind of doctor in-person & hear the same diagnosis, but pay way more!
10/10

I’m going to keep this review as short and to the point as possible. Firstly, $90 is kind of steep- BUT, you’re paying for convenience and honestly my experience went super well. I got 2 prescriptions immediately. I’ve only been to a dermatologist once, I spent $200 out of pocket for the doctor to walk in the room for 2 seconds then prescribe me a $60 topical without asking me about my skin or even looking at it. He then proceeded to rush me out of the office. I never went back to a dermatologist, but since I’m wearing a mask everyday at work my face looks horrible. I was looking for a quick solution and this was it. I honestly don’t have any complaints about the service, I do however have one about SkyMD247Telehealth which is that the pharmacy kept somehow changing itself back to the wrong one after I corrected it 2 times. This may be a glitch or something, however after contacting the doctor she got it sent over to the correct location quickly. Overall, I would recommend SkyMD247Telehealth.

Ease of Use: I found the process of using SkyMD247Telehealth simple and straightforward. Communication back-and-forth between the medical team and myself is always very easy. Personally, I feel like the ease-of-use with SkyMD247Telehealth he is very strong and that almost anyone with basic smart phone skills could manage to navigate through the process of receiving care that is very convenient and delivered in a professional, private manner.

High Quality of Care: The level of care and attention that I have received from Dr. Calame, Darlene, and the rest of the team has been exceptional. Specifically, In regard to the treatment of my acne and rosacea, my overall results with my skin have been just as beneficial as I would have expected had I visited their offices in-person for an appointment.

Convenience: I found the convenience of being able to use SkyMD247Telehealth whenever my busy schedule allows very helpful and that it actually saved me time since I didn’t have to schedule an appointment, drive through busy traffic, and then sit in a waiting room to wait my turn.

Overall: since I have had such a positive experience, I would recommend using the SkyMD app for your basic dermatological care. I think that you will be impressed with the professionalism, convenience, and the high quality of care provided.

Dr Robert Peppercorn & his team really took care of me when my health insurance provider couldn’t schedule right away. It was just very frustrating especially during the holidays. He literally saved me. Less than an hour after I signed up and inter my info. He contacted me right away. It was a severe case of atopic dermatitis/eczema that covers my whole face, head and body from waist up. I was very scared. Right after his evaluation, he gave me his treatment plan, order my meds at nearest Costco even allowed my request for blood works. Awesome doctor with over 40 years of experience. I have health insurance but after much it evaluation it was cheaper to pay cash. Even for meds. This is above & beyond my humble expectation. He will be my doctor for life. Thank you so very much doc. Hope more doctors will join your group at SkyMD. Forever grateful. Eugene Castro.

I don’t think I will ever visit a dermatologist in person after using SkyMD. There is just no need to waste your time by driving, waiting, and then being rushed when you finally see the doctor. With SkyMD’s platform I truly believe the care is better. The doctor doesn’t close out the visit until all your issues are addressed, and there doesn’t feel to be a rush. Pictures sent to the doc on the platform provide the same value as the doctor looking in person. Plus the appointment happens almost right away - it doesn’t take 6 weeks to get in. I’ve used Dr Willett three times, and when I request the visit - no matter what day of the week - I hear back within hours. Don’t be swayed away because it’s a tele health platform. The doctors are real, and the level of detail and care provided (along with the convenience) far exceeds an in person dermatology visit. Highly recommended.

Picture this:

It’s Thursday morning in Georgia and a fresh summer day is brewing. I’m packing the 2000 Volvo sedan with clothes and toothpaste, goldfish and spray paint (you know, the essentials), getting prepared to move north to Michigan.
Chasing a dream, I suppose you could say.

I leave Saturday morning, and I’m looking for a new skin treatment plan.

Ive been on an acne medication for nearly 1 year (doxycycline) and absolutely nothing has happened. No improvement. My medication runs out Friday and i’ve no plans for a refill.

I know what I need. Isotretinoin. The good stuff. The joint-killing but acne-stopping stuff. The might-kill-you but at least you’ll die beautiful stuff. So, I quickly I call the local derm and ask for a prescription.

“Sure, just book an appointment.”
“Okay,” I say, “how’s Friday?”
“Friday...? Like, three weeks from this Friday?”

Three week wait time. For a prescription.

“I’ll be in a different state.” I responded with a chuckle.
“Then you’ll probably want a different dermatologist.”

I went to SkyMD that night, and by FRIDAY AFTERNOON I had meds in my hand.

Less than 72 hours, as opposed to 3 weeks.

For the patient who knows what they need, SKYMD offers instant speed. My assigned doctor, Robert Peppercorn, responds to messages within 5 MINUTES. Every time.

Unmatched. Truly a marvel of the modern universe. The future of medicine is Patient-driven results.

Fiona Rahbar and her staff are wonderful. I have struggled with painful, persistent cystic acne for 20 years now and have tried every possible medication, topical, etc with no fix. I started using SkyMD about 6 months ago and have had a dramatic decrease in my cystic acne. I have an appointment monthly where Fiona evaluates every part of me through telehealth and then sends a prescription in. I feel like I get a more thorough evaluation here than I would in a medical office. When my appointment day comes, I am able to answer the medical questions and submit pictures as I am available through the day; there is no set appointment time that I have to take off work to attend. She and her staff answer my questions and address my concerns throughout the month, well after my appointment has concluded. They are all very kind and professional. I am thankful for this service and am finally hopeful that I will be free from acne very soon!

I live in LA and had called so many dermatologist offices to get an appointment for my pending accutane prescription (I moved states so my dermatologist was not licensed in CA). All the offices told me I had to wait months just to get a consultation. My accutane prescription couldn’t wait months. I came across this company and decided to give it a try. You can schedule a visit and get help the SAME day. Whenever I had a question I just messaged my dermatologist on SkyMD247Telehealth and got a response quickly. I could never get this service in any in-person office. I highly highly recommend SkyMD! My dermatologist was Nadine Ruth and she was amazing! SkyMD literally saved my face from scarring permanently. Can’t thank them enough.
