Dr. Tarugu asked detailed questions and based on our discussion she suggested I get blood work done for my thyroid to see if there are any issues.
In all the time that I was going to my primary care doctor she NEVER suggested that my thyroid be checked.
I appreciate the detailed discussion and suggestions Dr. Tarugu had for me.
I paid over $100 for a 15 minute consultation with a supposed mental health therapist. She continually interrupted me and gave me the impression that it was more important to get me to continue doing sessions than it was to find the right medicine, 0/10 this business is extremely shady, they need to be reported

Mallory Jones FNP-BC, was great, very personable, knowledgeable, listened well and provided helpful information and care. The whole experience was very positive.
I had a good experience with the doctors and getting prescription is fast and easy. The reason for low rating is the companies bad policy. I got enrolled into their annual plan at $300/year, was unable to use it beyond 4 months and went to cancel it. Upon calling the company they say they do not offer partial refund. And I asked well can I use it for the remained of the 12 months, they said no because you have cancelled you would have to pay again. Absolutely unprofessional and crazy policy. Even the customer service rep thought it was stupid. This is how companies are getting away with fraud these days. READ THE SUPER SMALL PRINT AND DO NOT SIGN UP FOR AN ANNUAL PLAN unless you intend to use it for 12 months.

What a terrible place! My daughter has been on medication for 3 years. Her doctor was out so I paid to have an appointment today for her, and they absolutely refused to refill her meds. What a joke of a place. Dont waste your time if you or someone you love really need help. This isn't it.

Matthew is a professional and great dr very informative and great for diagnosing your issues he asks alot of questions then prescribes the best medication for the symptoms he has great bedside manners he is my go to and understands my health issues I would definitely recommend him
Sesame is a machine to take your money and deliver frustration
I have had repeated horrible experiences with this company. Every interaction is full of extra friction and requires you as a patient to actively manage every aspect.
Setting a followup appointment - you'll need to email support and they will send you a link that can do that.
Getting a prescription? Again - you'll need to contact support and they will call you back at their convenience.
You can only imagine how frustrating it is to cancel.
Furthermore the medicine they were sending me was counterfeit and ineffective. I have been on this prescription before and it was very effective - but this shady company is sending out fakes.
They also have intentionally obfuscated key details about prescriptions in their tool making it virtually impossible to debug dosage issues with a provider.
In an evolved society this company would have been shut down long ago. But in this post-capitalist hellscape they thrive - congratulations America.

Exceptional care! Nurse Practitioner Natasha Bell was prompt, deeply empathetic, and took the time to truly understand what I was going through. I felt so supported throughout the entire appointment. 10/10 service!
Amazing service when you need it the most! Michigan is a tough state for good, affordable, healthcare! As a Patient wait list average 2-3 months
This service will bridge a gap that your current situation presents.
Do not accept anything less for your health needs. We all deserve excellent healthcare and support!
This is a place to find the healthcare you need with balance!
I am very grateful this platform was able to help me! What do you got to lose? Or try it and see how easy and quick you can and should be able to get help
Sesame is head and shoulders above traditional Dr. visits
With a traditional Dr. appointment you wait for months just to have the doctor dismiss your symptoms. With Sesame doctors you can get an appointment within an hour, they listen and actually try to help you get needed medication or advice literally within hours even if you make an appointment late at night on a weekend. Truly exceptional service!
I had no idea how straightforward and legitimate the process would be—I took a chance, now I am a committed patient. The direct to consumer model is a much higher quality of care model. My Sesame doctor was not put off by my own efforts in my care; he listened, evaluated and prescribed. My appointment was from the comfort of my home, and my prescription was available the same morning, just a few hours later. I am very Impressed!
Excellent. She got right to the root of the problem, gave me a diagnosis, and went the script to my pharmacy. She even called to help when the pharmacy needed authorization from me.
