I just learned about HousecallMD the other day and wanted to share this healthcare provider's services with you
New to Kitsap County and the Olympic Peninsula, HousecallMD!
Easy access to health care has long been an issue, even in today’s world. Getting an appointment in a doctor’s office can be a hassle with waiting times running for hours. The rural areas have it worse with waiting times even running for days!
The average visit to an urgent care in America (from leaving the home, driving to the clinic, registering, waiting in the waiting room, seeing the doctor, driving to the pharmacy, waiting at the pharmacy for the prescription, then driving home) totals 5.5-6 hours. The same to an emergency department (door-ED-pharmacy-home) averages 8-9 hours.
