Gentle Health is a patient-first telehealth clinic founded on four values:
Upfront, Competitive Pricing: We spend nothing on traditional marketing, work closely with pharmacy partners, and maintain highly efficient operations to keep prices among the lowest on the market. Our price is a single monthly subscription fee, with no hidden fees, surprises, or add-ons.
Frictionless Experience: Our onboarding process is fast, painless, and easy – most patients have their initial appointment booked for the next business day. Our HIPPA-compliant patient portal makes getting refills and talking to their care team fast and secure, with doctor replies typically within the hour. Prescriptions arrive in mere days via overnight shipping straight to their doorstep.
Patient Autonomy: We work closely with patients to make sure they’re armed with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health. We’re clear about what we provide so they can decide what best fits them.
Trust: We offer only evidence-backed medicine, offered by a real MD. We make it clear to patients what these drugs can and cannot do, where the research is, and prioritize treatments and lifestyle advice supported by the latest data.
