Healthcare at your fingertips: Doctor On Demand
Hill Ferguson,
CEO
Doctor On Demand is a telemedicine company that offers virtual healthcare services to patients across the United States. The company was founded in 2012 by Dr. Phil McGraw, Jay McGraw, and Adam Jackson, with the goal of making it easier for patients to access high-quality medical care from the comfort of their own homes. Since then, Doctor On Demand has grown into one of the leading telemedicine companies in the US, providing a range of services, from urgent care to behavioral health and chronic condition management.
To learn more about Doctor On Demand, I had the opportunity to speak with Hill Ferguson, the company’s CEO, about the company’s mission, its growth over the years, and its plans for the future.
Can you tell us a bit about Doctor On Demand and what inspired its creation?
Doctor On Demand was founded with the goal of making healthcare more accessible and convenient for everyone. We recognized that there was a need for a more modern, patient-centric approach to healthcare, and that telemedicine could help bridge that gap. By providing virtual healthcare services, we’re able to bring medical care to patients wherever they are, at any time of day, and without the need for them to leave their homes.
How has Doctor On Demand evolved over the years, and what do you think has contributed to its success?
When we first launched Doctor On Demand in 2012, telemedicine was still a relatively new concept. We had to work hard to educate patients, providers, and payers about the benefits of virtual healthcare, and to build a platform that was user-friendly and accessible to everyone. Over the years, we’ve continued to innovate and expand our offerings, adding new services and partnerships that allow us to provide a more comprehensive range of care to our patients. I think what’s contributed to our success is our commitment to putting patients first, and to making healthcare more accessible and convenient for everyone.
At Doctor On Demand, our mission is to make healthcare more accessible and convenient for everyone, and we’re committed to putting patients first in everything we do

What do you see as the future of telemedicine, and how do you see Doctor On Demand fitting into that future?
I think telemedicine is going to continue to play an increasingly important role in healthcare in the years to come. We’re already seeing a shift towards more virtual care, and I think that’s only going to accelerate as patients become more comfortable with telemedicine and as more providers and payers embrace it. At Doctor On Demand, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of this shift, and to continuing to innovate and expand our offerings to meet the changing needs of our patients. We see ourselves as a key player in the future of healthcare, and we’re excited to be leading the way.
What do you think sets Doctor On Demand apart from other telemedicine companies, and what do you see as your company’s unique strengths?
I think what sets Doctor On Demand apart is our commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. We’ve built a platform that is easy to use and accessible to everyone, and we’ve partnered with top providers to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care. We’re also unique in that we offer a wide range of services, from urgent care to behavioral health and chronic condition management, all on one platform. This allows us to provide a more comprehensive range of care to our patients, and to help them manage their health in a more holistic way.
Finally, what are your plans for the future of Doctor On Demand, and how do you see the company evolving over the next few years?
Our plans for the future of Doctor On Demand are ambitious. We want to continue to innovate and expand our offerings, adding new services and partnerships that allow us to provide even more comprehensive care to our patients. We’re also looking at ways.
