 We've all had those times were our little one(s) and ourselves are sick or we're exhausted from tending to our sick child. The last thing we want to do is bundle up our cranky child and take them to the doctor's office. We are all more comfortable at home. I know with our pediatrician, 99% of the time when I call even for a simple question and I have their care at home under control, they almost always tell me, "Well, bring him/her in so the doctor can see them.". We love our pediatrician, but he's in the busiest area and heaven forbid it be lunch time, then the 20 minute drive turns into 45 minutes.

Or another circumstance that I've been in, is that I'm very sick and home by myself with the kids with no way to get to the doctor's office. I typically become dehydrated when I'm sick, so I become fairly weak (there still is no rest for mom, but being at home is much better than the alternative) and in no shape to take the city bus or even a taxi cab with three perfectly healthy and rambunctious children. Let alone have to sit in the waiting room and then try to listen to doctor and control the children all at the same time.  

In either situation I have definitely wished that there were still doctors who did home visits. I mean that has to be such a wonderful thing to have, right?! Why don't we have them anymore? Well, think again! We do now with Amwell.

Amwell will definitely make it easier to talk to a doctor when you need to. Visit Amwell and set up your account. You can select and connect with a physician, all Amwell physicians are U.S. educated, board certified and have been hand selected, trained and certified specifically in telehealth to delivery the best possible experience for you. Amwell is just $49 per visit.

With Amwell you can talk to a doctor via phone, online chat or even video. You can search for a specific doctor and even learn more about them as where and how long they went to college. Watch the video above for more information about Amwell or visit their website.

Amwell also has a Local Exchange of Pediatricians. This allows you to schedule visits with your own doctor, or immediate visits with local pediatricians based on their availability. Personally, I greatly prefer my children to be seen by their own pediatrician or at least a pediatrician rather than a family doctor or general practitioner. My reasoning is because pediatricians specifically study and work on a daily basis with children, rather than general medical studies. 

Amwell is over all a wonderful and very useful tool for parents. Mothers can stay in the comforts of their own homes with their child and speak with a doctor via online chat, over the phone or video. It's the new home visiting doctor. So come check out Amwell for your self, creating an account is free so set one up as a just in case. You can also use this code, CARENOW11, for a free visit.
