If you get a positive COVID test and want Paxlovid the best way to get it is via a video visit.

Calling our call center - or going online - gets you an appointment within a few hours. The doctor has complete access to your records and can determine if Paxlovid is contraindicated. They can shoot the prescription over to the pharmacy in like 2 minutes. And they are doing these un-interrupted - so they won't lose interest or have to help another patient who may need more immediate help.

Going into Urgent Care or the E.R. with COVID will get you booted outside, and then it all depends on how busy the clinic is that day.

Video/audio visits are the best for COVID now.
