Most of you who are long-time readers know that I have been a Leukemia Survivor since 2007. Being proactive about my health and the medical care that I receive are very important to me. After all, when it comes to health care, we are our own best advocates. Recently I have become aware of Pager which is redefining the traditional doctor house call in San Francisco and the 5 boroughs of New York City.
Pager connects you with high-quality care in your home, office or hotel. If you are like me and you live with a chronic medical condition, having access to doctors who can evaluate and diagnose common infections and illnesses right in the comfort of your own home, is extremely convenient. It saves me time finding a reputable doctor, waiting for a scheduled appointment, and tackling the crowded emergency room whenever I get sick. Also, all of their doctors are board-certified so I can be confident knowing that I am receiving quality medical care.
The best part is that Pager can be used for both urgent care AND preventative care. Their services are available to people BEFORE they get sick via health checks and flu shots, in addition to serving patients when they’re sick in bed. As someone who often gets sick due to having a weakened immune system, it means a lot to me to have access to convenient medical care that helps me to stay healthy.
Since I’m a Working Mom, I also appreciate the fact that I don’t have to drag either one of my boys out to the doctor’s office whenever they get sick. Pager allows me to have the doctor on demand come out to our home for well visits or just for regular check-ups. This spares me from having to take unnecessary days off from work or having to hire a babysitter since I can make appointments during times that are convenient for me.
All you have to do is download the Pager app from the app store or use the web version. Once you register, input all the requested information. Then, when you are ready to request a visit, you can pay for your visit right online. Navigating the website is extremely easy and there aren’t a lot of invasive health questions that you have to answer. To be honest, it was easier using Pager to coordinate medical visits than scheduling an appointment through my doctor’s office.
For a limited time, you can take advantage of using my special promo code “toughcookie” for one free use of any one Pager service between now and Jan 31, 2016. You will be given the option to input the code when it’s time to pay for the service, instead of using a credit card. The time has come for you to enjoy quality medical care right in the comfort of your own home!

Sounds like a great service. What mom does not wish that she could get health care in her home!
I just heard something about this over the weekend on TV. I would love to have this service in our area – no waiting in lines at the doctor’s office!
That is for sure–or the ER!! I wish it was in my area also-I would jump all over it!!
Too bad this is not in Westchester County yet –I sure could have used this when I had that first asthma attack! It would have been nice to have a doctor that would have come to my apartment instead of having to drive myself to the ER–and maybe I would not have had the second which put me in the hospital.
Having access to medical care when and where we need it is essential. I love the idea of doctor visits right in our own home. I just wish it would not be too expensive to avail of a service like this.
This is the first time I have heard of Pager and it sounds like a great service. I will check if this is available in our area.
I looked for my area and it isn’t in my area yet, but I hope it is soon!
How awesome is this? I would love not to have to drag my kids to the doctor if I can get a diagnosis right at home 🙂
Totally! I also like the fact it’s all paid for online so that headache is taken care of easily.
I love the availability of services like this to get quality medical care from home. When you or the kids are sick, going to the doctor is usually the last thing you have the energy for.
This sounds so convenient. It’s nice to be able to contact a doctor when you’re having a really busy day.
This is truly life-changing. It’s the modern version of the old school house calls doctors used to make.
I have never heard of this, but would love to use this from the convenience of my home.
This is a great app as it can easily connect us with healthcare providers. I will give this a try.
This looks like a great service. I’d love to use it for simple things.
Omg!!! This sounds incredible! I have a 3 year old so anything that’s not the ER… Two thumbs up in my book. I will have to give this a try.
This sounds like a great service.. Not only would this be convenient but house calls are so much more personal, would love to give this a try!
This is a must have app for if you have children especially children with so many multiple complex issues like my Bella. I am lucky I can just call the doctor’s office after hours line and I always get a call back.
Pager is pretty new for me, but it sounds like a wonderful service as you can have access from anywhere & connect with healthcare providers anytime easily. I am just going to get it right away.
I think getting care in my home would help my husband avoid some of his “white coat” anxiety.
This sounds like a great product for those who can afford it. Congratulations on your successful battle with Leukemia. Thanks for sharing!
