Frequently asked questions

  • Original Remedy connects you with doctors and healthcare providers through secure messaging.

    We provide treatments for common healthcare conditions, preventative care and skincare - all accessible from the comfort of your home.

    Simply register for the patient portal and we will connect you with a healthcare provider.

    Our doctors can assess symptoms, prescribe medications and provide treatment recommendations. If your doctor thinks your condition requires in-person care, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in person assessment.

  • After creating an account, you will have access to your patient portal so you can message your provider through a secure messaging platform. A medical assessment will be performed by one of our healthcare practitioners. With a one time visit, you will have 7 days after the assessment to message your provider. With a monthly membership you will be able to message your provider at anytime.

    Prescriptions if deemed appropriate will be sent to your local pharmacy.

  • Asynchronous messaging allows patients and providers to message each other at different times enabling flexibility.

    Our dedicated providers strive to address your medical concern as promptly as possible, but please allow up to 24 hours for a response. Thank you!
