Meet Our Physicians

TelaDoc has the largest, highly credentialed independent network of physicians in telehealth today. Our physician credentialing far exceeds NCQA, National Committee for Quality Assurance, standards: TelaDoc physicians are credentialed every year (rather than every other year), and are subject to 10 percent random audit (versus the 5 percent NCQA requirement). Our physicians have experienced no malpractice claims during their service for TelaDoc.
