How Patients Find Us—and Why Our Diverse Approach Matters

how_patients

One of the things I’m most proud of at My Virtual Physician is the diversity of our patient base and the variety of ways people find us.

Patients connect with us through three main channels:
1. Organic Search: From the beginning, we invested heavily in SEO. That means when someone searches for telehealth services, women’s health, endocrinology, or even niche needs like shaving waivers, we’re easy to find. Our high ranking for relevant keywords brings in a steady flow of patients who are actively seeking care.
2. Referrals: We’ve built relationships with partner websites and organizations that refer patients to us. These partnerships expand our reach and help us serve more people who might not have found us otherwise.
3. Insurance Networks: We’re proud to be in-network with nearly 200 insurance plans nationwide. For many patients—especially those with Aetna or other major providers—finding us through their insurance portal is the first step to getting the care they need.

But what really sets us apart is our willingness to serve both traditional and niche patient needs. In addition to standard primary care, gynecology, and endocrinology visits, we offer specialized services like:
– Shaving waiver visits (for those required to be clean-shaven for work)
– Emotional support animal (ESA) evaluations
– Window tint exemption visits
– Medical cannabis certification visits

Why do we do this? Because healthcare isn’t one-size-fits-all. By diversifying our services, we protect our business from relying too heavily on any single revenue stream. It’s a strategic choice—one reinforced by industry trends. For example, when some companies went all-in on a single service line like weight-loss medications, they faced major setbacks when the landscape shifted. Our approach is about resilience and long-term impact.

For providers, this diversity means a dynamic, interesting clinical environment. You’ll see a range of cases, learn new skills, and make a difference in patients’ lives in ways that go beyond the ordinary.

If you’re passionate about serving a wide range of patients and want to be part of a team that values adaptability, My Virtual Physician is the place for you.
