For San Diego patients looking for convenient urgent care without an unnecessary trip to a clinic, the process starts entirely online.

2. Doctor Review

A board-certified physician evaluates your symptoms in under 60 minutes during operating hours.

If your doctor needs more information, they can connect with you through secure messaging, phone, or video—all included in your visit.

This physician-reviewed process provides convenient access to medical care when an in-person examination isn’t necessary.

MDCareNow provides San Diego patients with an accessible online urgent care option for common conditions that can safely be evaluated and treated through telehealth.

Why Asynchronous Telehealth?

It saves time, reduces barriers, and fits your life without compromising physician-level care.

Instead of rearranging your day around a clinic visit or spending time in a waiting room, asynchronous telehealth allows you to share your symptoms on your schedule. A physician then personally reviews your case and determines the appropriate next steps.

For busy San Diego adults, it offers another way to access medical care when an in-person examination isn’t medically required.

What Our Patients Say

I was sick for about two weeks and honestly kept putting off seeing a doctor. With traditional clinics, it usually means waiting days or weeks for an appointment, trying to fit it into my schedule, and by the time I am seen, the symptoms have often already passed.

My symptoms kept getting worse, and one night around 4am, I couldn’t take it anymore. I was feeling awful and didn’t even know if a doctor would respond at that hour. I found MDCareNow and decided to try it. The process was incredibly simple. I filled out an intake form and went back to sleep.

By the time I woke up in the morning, a doctor had already reviewed my case and sent a detailed, professional response. He clearly explained what was going on, what I should and should not do, and had already sent a prescription to the pharmacy. The medication was ready that same afternoon.

Within 24 hours of starting the medication, I felt significantly better, and by the time I finished the course, I was almost 100 percent back to normal.

I was genuinely surprised by how easy, fast, and affordable the entire experience was. Compared to traditional primary care, this was quicker, more convenient, and far less stressful. Given how smooth this was, I would definitely choose this again over a traditional doctor appointment.

A.I.

Nothing more convenient, than making an appointment online, getting a quick response, and getting medicine delivered to your door (depending on your preferred pharmacy) the next day!! On top of that, they actually listen and care about you as a patient. I always feel like I waste my time waiting weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment with my regular doctor, waiting in the room and then feeling rushed and not valued as a patient. I can’t recommend MDCareNow enough and will be using them from now on with my busy schedule.

I.L.

This service was truly a life saver. I was helped quickly and had my prescription ready at my local pharmacy within a couple of hours. I highly recommend this service!
