How Does It Work?
Symptoms
Start a visit anytime by interacting with an online program, which based on your answers asks follow-up questions specific to your symptoms. This helps us better understand what you are experiencing. (Note: You will need a valid email address.)
Diagnosis
Next, one of our licensed providers will review your symptoms, and either make a diagnosis and treatment plan or ask for more information. You can expect a response within 4 hours during our Lackey Virtual Care operating hours (Monday–Sunday 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.).
Prescription When Needed
If a prescription is given, you will be able to choose the pharmacy where you would like your prescription sent. Note: Lackey Virtual Care cannot provide prescriptions for controlled substances.

What Is Lackey Virtual Care?
Lackey Virtual Care is a 24/7 online diagnosis and treatment service to help those with common medical conditions.

It is powered by our partnership with Fabric Health, the owners of the platform.

They also provide care for conditions like pink eye and vaginal yeast infections, ensuring patients can receive timely diagnosis and treatment without needing to visit a physical clinic.
Cold, Flu, and COVID-19
The clinic offers specialized care for respiratory conditions, including COVID-19. They provide evaluation and treatment for patients aged 18 to 75 years old. Additionally, they offer preventative medication for flu exposure and whooping cough, available for children as young as one year old. Their service includes treatment options for those who have been exposed to COVID-19 or have tested positive for the virus.

Lackey Clinic’s virtual care extends to various eye, ear, and mouth conditions, such as canker sores, cold sores, styes, and swimmer’s ear. For general health issues, the clinic offers treatment for heartburn, heel pain, low back pain, mastitis, and prediabetes screening. They also assist with smoking cessation through nicotine replacement therapy.
Skin, Hair, and Nail Conditions
Patients can seek virtual consultations for various skin, hair, and nail conditions. These include acne, rosacea, eczema, athlete’s foot, and male pattern baldness.

Age and Condition-Specific Restrictions
While Lackey Clinic offers a broad range of treatments, some services come with age restrictions. For instance, mastitis treatment is available only to lactating women aged 18 to 49, and certain conditions like pink eye have upper age limits. It’s important for patients to review these restrictions to ensure they are eligible for the services provided.
