Tayla James shares her recent experience with the Virtual GP service.
“When I discovered that my insurance policy included access to Teladoc Health, I had no idea how valuable it would be. I was on holiday and suffering from a painful dental abscess. My dentist had already prescribed antibiotics, but they weren’t enough, and when I contacted the practice again, there was very little they could do while I was away.
My husband suggested I try the Virtual GP service. At the time, it felt like a last resort, but it ended up being exactly the help I needed.
I was in a lot of pain and actually made a couple of mistakes while trying to book my appointment. What really impressed me was that a GP noticed I was having trouble and proactively called me. He explained that he could see I was trying to book an appointment and asked if I needed help. That level of care immediately stood out to me.
The consultation itself was excellent. The doctor had clearly taken the time to review my medical history and current medications before speaking with me. Because I’m on several medications, there are certain treatments I can’t take. Often, I find myself having to explain this repeatedly, but this doctor already understood my situation. He talked me through the options, explained potential medications, and recommended the most appropriate treatment for me.
He was kind, thorough, and incredibly informative. He took the time to explain everything, including how the antibiotics would work and what I could expect. It felt like he genuinely cared about helping me get better.
The prescription process was also very straightforward. I received a code, took it to the pharmacy, and everything was sorted quickly and easily. Most importantly, I was able to get the treatment I needed before the weekend, which prevented the infection from worsening and saved me from having to seek emergency care.
Without access to the service, I honestly believe I would have ended up in A&E because I was in so much pain and running out of options.
What impressed me most was the proactive support. The fact that someone reached out when they saw I was struggling to book an appointment really made a difference. It showed a level of care and attention that went above and beyond my expectations.
The service was quick, easy to use, caring, and professional. Most importantly, I felt listened to and supported when I needed help the most.”
