DIFFERENTIATORS VS. THE COMPETITION

Meadow – Basic service that will send a doctor to your house, or give you a doctor’s Skype username (not HIPAA-compliant). No Photo ID cards, and lacks the convenience and security of our online platform.

HelloMD – offers a similar service, but lacks our Smart ID cards which enable instant verification at dispensaries and collectives.

EazeMD – tightly integrated with the Eaze delivery service, requires you to have an account with Eaze. We offer a universally-compatible recommendation service. Also, EazeMD does not provide ID cards.

Us (PrestoDoctor) – Same day (near instant) appointments, instant recommendation delivery, free Smart ID card which will auto-verify and check you in to partnering dispensaries. HIPAA-compliant safe and secure storage of your medical documents. Recommendation and card sent in a discreet package for maximum privacy. Same-day shipping to get your official copy fast (others can take over a week for delivery).
