Call-On-Doc, one of America’s highest-rated telemedicine providers, continues to expand access to convenient, affordable healthcare by offering online medical consultations and at-home test kits delivered directly to patients’ homes.
Founded before telehealth became widely adopted, Call-On-Doc has long focused on making quality medical care more accessible—especially for patients who face barriers to in-person visits. By combining secure digital consultations with home-based testing options, Call-On-Doc allows patients to manage more of their healthcare safely and comfortably from home.
At-home test kits are the latest step in Call-On-Doc’s mission to simplify healthcare. Studies show that a significant portion of patients are unable to visit traditional labs due to time constraints, transportation challenges, or work and family responsibilities. At-home testing helps close that gap.
Call-On-Doc currently offers 17 at-home lab tests, with additional options continually being added. Available tests include screening and monitoring for:
Diabetes
Cholesterol
Thyroid function
Kidney health
Liver health
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
And more
Test kits are typically priced between $35 and $50 and arrive in a prepaid return package. After following the included instructions, patients mail their specimen back to the lab. Results are usually available within 3–5 days and can be viewed securely through the patient’s online account.
Patients also receive guidance on how to understand their results and what next steps—if any—may be appropriate.
By making at-home testing easy and affordable, Call-On-Doc helps patients take control of their health without unnecessary delays or in-person visits. All test results are reviewed by board-certified physicians experienced in telemedicine, ensuring continuity of care and medical oversight.
To date, Call-On-Doc has supported millions of patient encounters and earned over 100,000 five-star reviews. The platform enables evaluation and treatment for 70+ conditions across a wide range of specialties, including:
Women’s health
Men’s health

Summer Skincare for Acne-Prone Skin
Summer can be one of the most challenging seasons for people with acne-prone skin.
Hot temperatures, increased sweating, sunscreen use, humidity, and outdoor activities can all contribute to clogged pores and breakouts.
The good news is that acne doesn't have to worsen during the summer. Understanding how warm weather affects your skin can help you adjust your skincare routine and reduce flare-ups.
Excess sweat
Increased oil production
Humidity
Heavy sunscreens
Frequent touching of the face
Exercise and outdoor activities
Makeup mixed with sweat
Not cleansing after sweating
Painful cystic acne
Severe inflammation
Acne scarring
Worsening breakouts despite treatment
Signs of skin infection
Many people assume summer should improve acne.
After all, spending time outdoors and getting a little sunlight seems like it should help clear the skin.
While some people notice temporary improvement, summer often creates the perfect conditions for breakouts.
Heat, sweat, excess oil, and environmental exposure can all make acne harder to control if your skincare routine doesn't adapt to the season.

Managing Excessive Sweating During Hot Weather
Sweating is one of the body's most important cooling mechanisms.
When temperatures rise, sweating helps regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.
However, some people sweat far more than expected, even when others around them seem comfortable. Excessive sweating can affect confidence, interfere with daily activities, soak through clothing, and make outdoor activities uncomfortable during the summer months.
While hot weather naturally increases sweating, there are steps you can take to reduce symptoms and improve comfort.
Hot weather
High humidity
Exercise and physical activity
Stress and anxiety
Hyperhidrosis
Certain medications
Hormonal changes
Underlying medical conditions
Sudden onset of excessive sweating
Night sweats
Weight loss
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Dizziness
Symptoms that continue worsening
Most people expect to sweat during the summer.
But for some individuals, sweating becomes more than a minor inconvenience.
Excessive sweating can affect work, exercise, social activities, travel, and overall quality of life.
The good news is that understanding the cause of excessive sweating is often the first step toward finding relief.

Feedback from our amazing patients!
"I can’t believe I did not know about this kind of service! This was absolutely perfect for my health concern and they were able to provide me with the necessary medication and with such cinch. Completely recommended this service. For minor health concerns, this can save you an unnecessary and costly trip to an urgent care center."
"Amazing!! Easy and fast! I didn’t have to take my 4 year old into an urgent care where only god knows what germs are there. The doctor sent the script right to my pharmacy within minutes!!!"
"I would give 10 stars if I could! CallonDoc is literally the reason I am recovering instead of suffering as I write this. I was skeptical at first, but I’m not kidding when I tell you I got prescribed my antibiotics and picked it up at the pharmacy within 2 hours. So instead of waiting & paying around 300$...I paid 40$!! I’m very pleased."
