Heal is fundamentally transforming the broken healthcare system in the United States by creating quick access to high-quality urgent, primary, and preventative care physicians.  In this on-demand culture, there is an increasing need for immediate services, and now through Heal, getting comprehensive healthcare is easier than ordering food.

"Our on-demand doctor house calls is an example of innovative technology delivering a critical service that everyone can use," said Dr. Renee Dua, co-founder, Heal.  "After our patients use Heal for the first time, the most common thing we hear is 'I don't ever want to go to a doctor's office again.'"

The American healthcare system is ripe with inefficiencies.  Nearly $40 billion annually is spent on overuse of emergency rooms (ER) and about 46 percent of ER patients could have been treated by a primary care physician. Whether it is avoiding a trip to the ER or urgent care, a routine office visit for you or your kids, or an annual physical, a Heal doctor can address these common medical needs – in your home and on-demand.

Heal delivers comprehensive and unhurried doctor's appointments to a patient's home or office in under an hour for $99. At the click of a button, licensed physicians are available seven days a week any time from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., for anything a patient might require during a traditional office visit, including an annual physical, blood tests, and specialist recommendations. Additionally, Heal now offers seasonal in-home flu shots for $30 across all service areas throughout Southern and Northern California.

Heal was co-founded by entrepreneur and mom of two Dr. Renee Dua, who has surrounded herself with a world-class team of health and technology experts to build and launch Heal.
