What Californians see us for most
55 conditions qualify for a $39 quick care visit. These are some of the most common.
UTI treatment online in California
If you are a woman between 18 and 75 with typical UTI symptoms, such as burning when you pee, a frequent urge to go, or cloudy or strong-smelling urine, you can be treated from home with a written visit. You answer a short questionnaire about your symptoms, and Dr. Margaryan reviews it, usually within 3 hours. No appointment or video call is needed. If an antibiotic is right for you, such as nitrofurantoin (Macrobid), cephalexin (Keflex) or Bactrim, the prescription goes to your California pharmacy.
Fever, back or side pain, or vomiting can mean the infection has reached the kidneys. In that case Dr. Margaryan will move you to a video visit or tell you to be seen in person. How to tell a UTI from a kidney infection · More about online UTI treatment
Yeast infection treatment online in California
A vaginal yeast infection happens when the yeast that normally lives in the vagina overgrows. It usually causes intense itching, redness and a thick, white discharge that looks like cottage cheese, and it can burn when you pee or during sex. It is common and very treatable.
Through a $39 written visit, Dr. Margaryan reviews your symptoms, usually within 3 hours, with no video call needed. If treatment is right for you, she can prescribe fluconazole (Diflucan) by mouth, or a vaginal treatment such as terconazole or miconazole, sent to your California pharmacy. If you get yeast infections 3 or more times a year, book a video visit to talk about longer-term options. Thin, gray discharge and a fishy odor? It may be BV instead
Pregnant, or have pelvic pain, a fever or sores? These need a video visit or in-person care instead of a written visit. If that is the case, Dr. Margaryan will tell you and refund your $39.
How online care works in California
California allows doctors to treat patients through telehealth, including written visits, as long as the care meets the same standard as an in-person visit. Your physician must be licensed in California, and you must be in California when you are seen. Most California quick care visits need no video call: you answer a questionnaire written for your condition, and Dr. Margaryan sends back your plan. In every visit, Dr. Margaryan:
- confirms who you are and that you are in California
- tells you who she is and how to reach the practice
- reviews your history and symptoms before treating you
- tells you when a written visit is not enough, and moves you to a video visit or in-person care
If a quick care visit turns out not to be right for you, we refund your $39 in full or apply it to a video visit, whichever you prefer. You are never charged twice.
