Top Notch

Top notch – I connected with a doctor and was approved in a few hours. Now just waiting for my state to send me my card… This was refreshing how smoothly your process went. I wish all services were this easy. Thank you for all you do in these tough times!

So EASY!! Great service!

I called for an appointment yesterday and I am set up today! I am so glad I did not believe all these negative reviews, I had such a great experience! My questions were answered in 20 minutes. I did not get my call right away, but it was because I did not READ THE INSTUCTIONS in the e-mail I received. I called and left a message. I received a return call in less than 10 minutes and they told me what to do. Once I completed my intake form, the provider called and the rest is history.

The process was simple

The process was simple. Made an appointment to talk to a Dr., the doctor called at exactly the time they specified. I explained my needs and why I needed a MM card. I got an email shortly after in which I had to upload specific documents and less than a week later my MM card came in the mail.

Additional support

It was a great experience the doctor was very caring and I had a difficult time logging on to video which I thought I missed my appt time I felt relieved when the doctor called me directly to see why i wasn’t present on video. It was a quick and easy process that allowed me access to additional support for my diagnosis

Attentive Doctor!!

Leafy Doc paired me up with a doctor nearby and I spoke with her within 20 minutes of making my appointment. She was attentive, asked me how I was doing and I felt she really was concerned for my well-being. I was emailed my paperwork right away.

It was so easy to use and I just did 16yrs in prison so if can get it done anyone can!

It was so easy to use and I like how if I had a problem I couldn’t reach anyone they called me right back!that says a lot!the only reason I didn’t give it 5stars is because I would have liked a verification that I was approved for my card.
