How the NewJerseyDoc visit works

The NewJerseyDoc visit starts with a structured intake covering symptoms, medications, allergies, and prior treatment response. A New Jersey-licensed physician (NJ) reviews whether cholesterol management is appropriate, whether labs are required, and whether another approach is safer. If a prescription is indicated, it is sent to a pharmacy the patient can use in New Jersey. That prescription is not a referral to a New York City or Philadelphia clinic.

Follow-up is scheduled when treatment starts. Chronic therapies are commonly rechecked at about four weeks, then every one to three months, or sooner if side effects appear.

What happens next

If you want to know whether cholesterol management is appropriate, start a visit. You will leave with a clear yes, a different plan, or a referral. NewJerseyDoc does not guarantee a prescription.

Adults who can complete a medical evaluation by telehealth may be treated when a New Jersey-licensed physician (NJ) decides it is appropriate. Controlled substances and some conditions follow stricter rules. NewJerseyDoc does not guarantee a prescription.
