Program participant9amHealth is a blessing
9amHealth has been a blessing to me because of my work hours and the difficulty of seeing a doctor.
Annette S., 9amHealth memberA breath of fresh air
After relocating across the country to a state with many healthcare challenges, I found it difficult to manage the multiple conditions I have. I waited for appointments on long waiting lists. As a black woman, to be listened to, supported, and cared for is so very rare in healthcare.
Natasha Franklin, 9amHealth memberSupport, empathy, and understanding
It’s like having patient advocates and a whole medical team at your fingertips 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I have been met with nothing but support, empathy, and understanding. I look forward to seeing weight loss results and telling my medical team about them.
Jason, 9amHealth memberGreat Experience
As a retired gastroenterologist, I have worked with the expert team for the past several weeks and made significant headway in combating diabetes, hyperlipemia, and metabolic syndrome. The availability of talent and convenience of telemedicine are outstanding features of 9amHealth. I am excited about working together with my team.
Ira Shafran, MD, 9amHealth memberDid not miss a day of work
I give 9amHealth 5 stars. I came across their web page looking for non-expensive health insurance, and I do not regret one bit applying for their services; they got me on schedule the same week to get my labs done, and they came to my job, for which I did not have to miss a day off work. I totally recommend them and will recommend them to friends and family. My life saver!
Gloria Lopez, 9amHealth memberSaves so much time!
I recommend using them if you don't like sitting at the doctor's office for hours waiting to get checked on and have a 5-minute face time with your doctor and get the prescription, then another hour of waiting to get the prescription filled.
Mike H., 9amHealth memberGreat Experience
Using 9amHealth has been a fantastic experience! Their response times are fast, and they collaborate closely with you to identify the optimal dosage. Additionally, they ensure timely shipments. I would definitely recommend them!
Lawrence Ng, 9amHealth member
Very competent Care Team
Love how everyone is so nice. This program is a blessing to me for sure. Thanks, 9amHealth.
Daniel, 9amHealth memberGreat service!
I work in the healthcare profession, I am very reluctant to go to a physician, because it’s so hard to get an appointment! Got my lab work done within a week and had medications that I probably should’ve been on for the last 10 years. So convenient I really wish this had been available a long time ago.
Annette Hendricks, 9amHealth memberI don’t need to leave the house
This company is unbelievable. No doctor I’ve known has ever provided such incredible assistance and care, and I don’t need to leave the house. I am beyond impressed and grateful for 9amHealth.
Kimberly Craft, 9amHealth memberWhat a time saver
9amHealth was easy to deal with and sent out my meds very promptly. The 3 month-supply is a time saver compared to picking up a one-month supply at my local pharmacy and dealing with frequent refill requests through my doctor's office.
David Sweedler, 9amHealth memberLost 13 pounds in only a few months
I’ve been trying to lose weight without seeing change. I felt helpless. With the 9amHealth program, I’ve gone from 179 lbs to 169 lbs and lost 13 pounds in only a few months!
Program participantFast & wonderful
Wonderful doctors, always on the alert to answer your questions. My shipment was fast and on time.
Shamilla DaSouza, 9amHealth memberA bliss!
This has been a great experience for me! I received kind, professional healthcare at an extremely affordable price...thank you!
Tonya Moore, 9amHealth memberAwesome program
This is an awesome program, I’m so glad to have signed up for it. I would definitely recommend anyone who needs assistance reach out. This program is perfect for people like me with no insurance! Thanks, 9am!
Ismael Smiley, 9amHealth member9amHealth is AMAZING!
Dealing with 9amHealth has been the best experience in the healthcare field that I've ever had in my life. The staff is fantastic! They bent over backward to accommodate my requests and got me what I needed amazingly fast. I can't recommend them enough. Wish I could give them 10 stars!
Ray McDaniel, 9amHealth memberVery affordable
When diagnosed with diabetes I was freaking out. I came across 9amHealth and they are amazing! They are always there no matter what time. I totally enjoy the fact I can do everything from home. Best part is they are affordable!
Jamison Taylor, 9amHealth memberMy experience with 9amHealth has been awesome
As a truck driver, it's difficult to make doctor's appointments. 9amHealth simplified the whole process of getting my medication when my doctor wouldn't fill the prescription unless I came to the office. And all he does is ask the same questions and write the prescription, which I then have to wait for at the pharmacy to receive. 9am health ships it right to your door. I will continue to use them from now on. Thank you so much!
Elder Timothy Haggerty, 9amHealth memberI love the program
I love the program and how it makes me accountable for my actions, knowing that I will hear from the 9amHealth Care Team. Thank you for learning new tools so I can do better and make better choices.
