★★★★★
Dr B is the best
Dr. B team responded quickly to my online consultation. I had a horrible undiagnosed eyelid dermatitis from an unknown allergy. I would have had to wait several days to get a referral from my primary care for a dermatologist. I'm also currently out of state, making it even more difficult to see a doctor. I can't believe for only $15, Dr B diagnosed and sent a rx to my pharmacy and within just a few hours, I had my rx. The medication prescribed was spot on and I finally have relief in less than 24hrs. I will definitely use DrB in the future.

Absolutely real and absolutely amazing!
I was a bit skeptical that a $15 online assessment would work but I was wrong! This is the best online Dr service I have ever found- the cost is a huge bonus. The huge amount of illnesses they treat is astounding. I had a severe sinus infection and without insurance would have cost a fortune at the ER. Within 3 hrs I had my Rx for antibiotics in hand. Today was my last day on them and my infection is gone. The dr followed up with me via email a few days after which I’ve never had an online platform do. A 5/5 for me!!!

This online health service is the best
This online health service is the best. I did a health assessment and answered some questions and also said what my problem was and right away was contacted by a doctor who wrote me some antibiotics that was sent to a pharmacy of my choice. The best part was that they showed the prices of the prescription at different locations so there was no surprises. Got my medicine the same day. They also have a way for low income to qualify without having to pay. The whole experience was amazing. Fast. Transparent. Helpful. Followed up to see how I was doing. I will definitely be using Dr. B again and telling all my family and friends. Thank you so much!

So amazing
So amazing! I was recently dismissed and my insurance was discontinued so I had lost my income and insurance! They were able to help me with a uti I was experiencing for free and I am truly grateful! I feel much better!! Thank you!!
★★★★★
Super quick and inexpensive
Super quick and inexpensive. I paid $21 including meds and had my prescription about an hour after signing up on the site. I'd initially reached out to my doctor, but they wanted me to come in for labs... I've had UTIs for 20 + years and know when I have one. This is such a simple quick solution for simple UTIs.

Great Experience
Great communication, easy process, great price. I got a 90 day prescription for my BP medicine. Very convenient. Much better experience than with the other internet Doc.
★★★★★
Excellent Care and Super Convenient!
I had a great experience with Dr. B and their staff! The online visit was smooth and easy from start to finish. I was especially impressed that Dr. B followed with me after hours - something I honestly did not expect. When I ran into an issue with Walmart filling my prescription, Dr. B immediately suggested switching pharmacies. Within an hour, I was able to pick it up from Walgreens with no hassle. The fact that the doctor even communicated with me through text messages really stood out - that's never happened before in my experience with Healthcare. The visit was very affordable, which is a huge plus for me since I don't have health insurance. I'll definitely be using this online service again. Highly recommend!

Dr. B is by far the best online clinic I have used. The diagnostic approach is efficient and to the point. The processing of the online visits are timely,3hours or less. The medications are prescribed quickly as well. I would recommend Dr. B without reservation. Dan F

Easy way to get a letter of medical necessity…
I needed a letter of medical necessity for massage therapy and couldn’t get an appointment with my doctor before my massage appointment. I was able to get one quickly and easily from Dr. B for just $15, which is actually less than the office visit copay through my insurance.

High Cholesterol Questions

About High Cholesterol

What is high cholesterol?
High cholesterol is also called hyperlipidemia or hypercholesterolemia. This common condition happens when too many fats (or lipids) build up in the blood vessels. When the body has more cholesterol than it needs, plaques can start to build up in the blood vessels, making them stiffer and narrower. The heart then has to work harder to pump blood through them. Left untreated, it can lead to serious medical conditions like heart disease, stroke or diabetes.
What are the categories of cholesterol?

There are two types:

  • Blood cholesterol is a waxy substance made in the liver. It plays an essential role in bodily functions like producing hormones and digesting fat in foods.
  • Dietaryolesterol comes from animal foods like meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products a chnd seafood.
What causes high cholesterol?

A combination of risk factors can include:

  • Smoking and tobacco use
  • Heavy alcohol consumption
  • Lack of exercise
  • A diet high in fat, processed foods or animal products
  • Family history of high cholesterol
  • Certain medical conditions, including chronic kidney disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, hypothyroidism and lupus
What do HDL and LDL mean?

Cholesterol is carried through the blood by two different kinds of proteins called lipoproteins.

  • High-density lipoprotein (HDL) absorbs cholesterol and takes it back to the liver, where it’s broken down and flushed out of the body. HDL is sometimes called “good” cholesterol because high levels of HDL can reduce the risk of heart problems or stroke.
  • Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) makes up the majority of blood cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is sometimes called “bad” because when LDL levels are too high, it can form plaques in blood vessels—especially when combined with high levels of fat (triglycerides).
How long does it take to lower cholesterol?

Most cases are treatable with medication and lifestyle interventions. Everyone’s reaction to treatment is different, so lowering cholesterol levels can’t be promised within a set timeline. But LDL levels should generally begin to drop within 3 to 4 months of treatment.

How do I know if I have high cholesterol?

This common condition typically doesn’t cause any symptoms. So it’s important to have regular blood tests to measure cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Do I have high cholesterol or high blood pressure?

High blood pressure—or hypertension-—happens when the force of the blood against your blood vessels is too high. About 60% of people who have hypertension also have high cholesterol. But the exact nature of this relationship isn’t known. Both conditions cause few or no symptoms. (With hypertension, side effects usually only occur in severe cases.) Get your blood pressure and HDL and LDL levels checked regularly to monitor your risk.

Learn more about hypertension treatment.

What prescription treatments are available for high cholesterol?

When a healthy diet and exercise aren’t enough, statins can help reduce the amount of cholesterol produced in the liver. Statins are often first-line treatment options. Common statins include Atorvastatin (Lipitor), Pravastatin (Pravachol), Rosuvastatin (Crestor), Lovastatin, Pravastatin and Simvastatin.

Why do you only offer high cholesterol prescription refills?

An in-person provider should perform an initial diagnosis. Once they’ve diagnosed the condition and established a medication dosage, Dr. B can help refill prescriptions with hassle-free online care. To access prescription refills, you must share a photo of your current medication (to verify your prescription and dosage level).

How are cholesterol medications used?

Most medications are taken orally (by mouth) once or twice a day. These medications are most effective when combined with dietary and lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet and regular exercise. A heart-healthy diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats like olive oil. Avoid saturated or trans fats, which are found in fatty cuts of meat, full-fat dairy and packaged snacks or desserts. It’s also important to quit smoking and reduce alcohol intake while taking these medications.

What are the common side effects of cholesterol medicine?

With cholesterol pills like Atorvastatin, Lovastatin or Crestor, side effects may include muscle problems (like pain), digestive problems and memory problems. Most people who use statins do not experience any serious side effects. But in rare cases, they can cause liver problems. Talk to your medical provider right away if you experience any new problems—including muscle pain or digestive issues—after starting treatment.

How can I get a high cholesterol prescription online?

Need a refill for your prescription? Dr. B can help! Our online medical service walks you through a comprehensive health assessment. A doctor or medical provider will review your assessment. If they believe a prescription refill is appropriate, they’ll send it to your preferred pharmacy for pickup.

How much does high cholesterol medication cost?

Consultation: A virtual medical consultation costs $15.00, which is lower than most doctor copays. Currently, we don’t submit medical consultation claims to insurance companies. But you can use insurance for any resulting prescriptions at your pharmacy.

Medication: Dr. B only charges for the medical consultation. When medications are prescribed, we let you choose the most affordable or convenient pharmacy to fill the prescription. Your medication prices will vary depending on your insurance coverage and whether the drug is a brand or generic.

Do you accept insurance?

Right now, we don’t submit medical consultation claims to insurance companies. But you can use health insurance for any resulting prescriptions at your pharmacy.

How do refills work?

We’ll send you a reminder for an online assessment when it’s time for your next refill.
