Federal Health Expert Launches Telehealth Platform That's Disrupting the $75+ Online Doctor Visit
Dr. Nilesh Panchal, MPH, DrPH -- Founder of ChatWithDr.com, offering $39.99 flat-rate telehealth consultations across all 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam.
FREDERICKSBURG, VA - In an industry where a single online doctor visit routinely costs $75 or more, Dr. Nilesh Panchal saw an opportunity to fundamentally rethink telehealth delivery. Drawing on years of public health leadership at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense, he launched ChatWithDr.com - a platform that offers licensed physician consultations for a flat $39.99 with no hidden costs.
"My career in federal public health showed me how systemic barriers prevent people from getting basic medical care," said Dr. Panchal, who holds both a Master of Public Health and a Doctor of Public Health degree. "Telehealth was supposed to solve the access problem, but most platforms just moved the same expensive, appointment-driven model online. We took a completely different approach."
That approach eliminates two of the biggest friction points in healthcare: the requirement to create an account and the need to schedule an appointment. Patients visiting ChatWithDr.com simply describe their medical concern, pay the flat fee, and receive a response from a licensed physician - typically within two hours. Prescriptions are transmitted directly to the patient's pharmacy of choice.
The results speak for themselves. ChatWithDr.com has handled over 50,000 patient interactions across all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam, maintaining a 4.9 out of 5.0 patient satisfaction rating. The platform covers eight medical specialties: urgent care, primary care, dermatology, women's health, men's health, allergies, weight loss management, and sexual health.
The pricing difference is substantial. Teladoc, the industry's largest player, charges between $75 and $89 per consultation. PlushCare ranges from $75 to $99. ChatWithDr.com delivers the same caliber of care at roughly half the cost, making it an essential resource for the estimated 27.6 million Americans without health insurance and the millions more with high-deductible plans that make even insured visits prohibitively expensive.
The platform is fully HIPAA-compliant and LegitScript-certified, meeting the highest standards for patient privacy and operational legitimacy in digital healthcare. ChatWithDr.com is notably the only major telehealth platform extending services to Puerto Rico and Guam, addressing a critical gap in healthcare access for U.S. territory residents.
