SmartDocMD partners with board certified physicians who are licensed to practice in your state. These doctors go through a rigorous application process. They must have passed all portions of the United States Medical Licensing Exams (USMLEs) along with having a valid prescribing DEA license.  Additionally, they are among the best doctors in their field and recommended by their peers. The online patient interview (OPI) utilizes diagnosis and treatment plans based on official medical society care guidelines. Our partner’s doctors follow these evidence-based guidelines because it results in better, safer, more effective care for you. If needed, their doctors can usually provide a note for excuse from work/school.
