Online Doctor in 10 Minutes? We Tested the Fastest Virtual Visits

When you’re not feeling well, every minute matters. That’s why we tested just how fast telemedicine really is — and how JoePill.com compares to traditional urgent care and other online doctor services. Spoiler: You can go from symptom to prescription in under 10 minutes, and you won’t just get one medication. You’ll get everything you need in one visit.

We Timed It: From Symptom to Treatment

To find out how fast online healthcare really is, we put JoePill and a few other virtual providers to the test. We tracked the time from starting a telemedicine visit to when the prescription was approved and sent to the pharmacy or shipped.

  • JoePill.com: 9 minutes, 38 seconds — Rx sent and confirmation received
  • Big-name telemed app: 32 minutes (plus a 1-hour wait for pharmacy pickup)
  • Traditional urgent care: 2 hours, 14 minutes door-to-door (plus exposure to sick patients)

Speed Isn’t Everything — Quality Matters

Sure, we’re fast. But JoePill also delivers better care with more complete treatment. Each online visit can qualify you for a complete pack of preventive care medication.

Example: For a sinus infection, JoePill may provide:

  • Antibiotic (e.g., Azithromycin / Zpak)
  • Nasal inflammation reliever
  • Optional antihistamine or cough aid

All from a single virtual visit, with free delivery and pharmacist-reviewed care.

Telemedicine Is Changing Healthcare

JoePill.com specializes in preventive, online-only care. That means:

  • Private, fast visits from your phone
  • Multiple prescriptions available in one consultation
