Medicast
has brought back the house call doctor
is just one solution to providing a high quality , compassionate service that has been eroded from the original healthcare system .
“ Personal house calls allow the patient to be treated in the comfort of their own home and receive a higher standard of care from start to finish ,” said Ferdowsi . “ The average length of an in-office doctor visit is six to eight minutes . Our doctors spend an average of 30 to 45 minutes with each patient , and the visit can happen right away , as opposed to waiting days for an appointment .”
With direct primary care now available 24 hours a day by simply using the Medicast mobile app , logging onto the website or making a phone call , consumers can opt out of countless hours in a waiting room and lines at the pharmacy by choosing a private house call with a certified , local physician , ultimately freeing their schedules for a healthier time better spent .
