Lives changed

I have been cared for by 4 telemedicine companies. Cerebral is the best. Their technology is amazing and this is important. Cerebral emails, texts and my care provider truly cares about my mental wellbeing. I finally was properly diagnosed and am treated every month.

It’s nice to have therapy and prescriber appointments easy to set up and all in one place. Convenient and stress free. If insurance is in network, very affordable as well. My therapist and prescriber are awesome and very attentive.

I have always found Cerebral reliable and has everything I need in one spot. Instead of paying for the high premiums for insurance I'm just paying for the care that I need and I subscription. I love that there's no hidden fees.
