Choose a 24/7 Virtual ER video visit in DeSoto when you have an acute non-life-threatening illness—such as a UTI, sinus infection, strep throat, flu, pink eye, rash, or medication refill—and want to skip driving along I-35E, I-20, Belt Line Road, Hampton Road, and Cockrell Hill Road.

I used Virtual ER yesterday and it worked like a charm, computer to computer. If you have a migraine or a bad cold you can call the ER doctor and he will diagnose you with your web cam. And he can email your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice. I don't have to drag my half dead body to the doctor's office. This is GREAT!

Raymond CampbellLocal Guide · 44 reviews

I have taken my girls here a few time for various issues (broken arm, high fever, allergic reaction) I've always been happy with the care given. The support staff and doctors are great.

MKfromTXLocal Guide · 109 reviews

Efficient and knowledgeable Doctor! This was a very timely consultation, which is what you need when you have sick kids, in our case it was 2 kids with ear infections.

Cristhell M.Local Guide · 30 reviews

The care at the clinic is wonderful. They have a great team. I arrived in poor health, and the receptionist, the nurse, the radiology technician, and Dr. Quintanilla all attended to me quickly.
