Move over Dr. Google, Dr. App is in! How to get a doctor on the phone...

Click for link to app
Most of us wouldn’t call a doctor for every question we have - but now you can, without being a pain. 

It’s an app called HealthTap and it’s free on your smartphone. App creator, Ron Gutman, says it takes an average of 20 days to get an appointment with your doctor and that average is expected to get even longer. But thanks to new technology, it’s getting easier to have medical questions answered in between visits - with just the tap of a finger.

HealthTap gives you access to thousands of doctors and hundreds of specialties. You just enter your health question and it will be routed to the appropriate physician. You’ll be notified by email or text as soon as they respond. Free questions are limited to 150 characters but you can also pay for premium services, which include virtual, private consultations and the ability to ask longer questions.
