Match with a pediatrician
We route your case to the first available board-certified pediatrician. Median wait: 4.2 minutes. No scheduling, no phone trees.
Video or chat consult

Follow-up care plan
Receive a written visit summary, a personalized care checklist, and a direct callback window if symptoms change overnight.
Children don't schedule their fevers for business hours. We don't either. Every scenario below has been handled by a Consult pediatrician — at 2 AM, on a Sunday, in a rural county with one urgent care clinic.
Fever that won't break
103.4°F at 2 AM. Your toddler is restless. The ER means a 2-hour wait and $400 copay. We mean a pediatrician in 4 minutes.

Mystery rash, school call incoming
Red spots appeared this morning. The school nurse wants a doctor's note. Upload a photo — we'll tell you if it's hand-foot-mouth or just heat rash.

Ear pain before the flight
Your 5-year-old woke up screaming with ear pain. Flight boards in 3 hours. We prescribe amoxicillin to the nearest airport pharmacy.

Croup cough, rural family
90 minutes to the nearest pediatric urgent care. The barky cough is classic croup. We assess severity and prescribe dexamethasone if indicated — no drive necessary.

"My son had a 104° fever at midnight on Christmas Eve. The Consult doctor was on screen in 3 minutes, prescribed antibiotics, and walked me through exactly what to watch for. We didn't spend Christmas in the ER."

"I live 75 miles from the nearest pediatric urgent care. Consult is the reason I didn't drive that road at 1 AM with a sick infant in a car seat. I cannot overstate what that means."

Dad of one · Billings, MT
"I'm a working mom. I was in back-to-back calls when the school called about my daughter's rash. I opened Consult between meetings, uploaded a photo, and had a diagnosis — hand-foot-mouth, not scarlet fever — before my next call started."
