What Makes Us Different

Your Doctor's Cell Phone Number.
Yes, Really.

Not a call center. Not an answering service. Your physician's actual cell phone, for calls, texts, and video whenever you need it.

The Rare Privilege

This Changes Everything

In traditional medicine, reaching your doctor means navigating phone trees, leaving messages, and waiting days for callbacks. At AnswersMD, you text your doctor directly. And they respond.

Sunday night fever? Text. Worried about a symptom while traveling? Call. Need a prescription refill? One message.

"Having Dr. Shapiro's cell phone saved my life. I texted him about chest tightness at 11pm โ€” he had me in the ER within the hour. It was a heart attack."

Hi Dr. Shapiro - my son has had a fever of 102 for a few hours. Should I be worried?
Hi Sarah. At that temp with no other symptoms, you can manage at home. Tylenol every 6 hrs, push fluids. If it hits 104 or he seems lethargic, call me immediately and we'll get him seen.
Thank you so much. This is such a relief.
Of course. Text me in the morning with an update. Get some rest. ๐Ÿ™‚
