Keep well clear of Health Hero
I am a VHI customer an needed to use the online doctor service as I am sick My situation is time sensitive as I am due to take a long haul flight this week I was left waiting for the doctor for about 15 mins after which I received a call cancelling my appointment due to technical difficulties I was offered an appointment for the next day Sunday which is of no use as my pharmacy is closed on Sunday This company are a complete waste of time treating medical care as a commodity I may as well be looking for a pincture repair I will never use this service again an I am seriously considering changing my health care insurance as a result of my experience My advice is to keep well clear of Health Hero

Awful
Awful Have used this service for over 3 years via Benenden Recent communication with doctors have been awful Very rude and dismissive They have now stated that they do not prescribe for children although have been doing so for years Would expect better quality as it s a service that is being paid for It has pushed me to cancel my health insurance

Don t waste your money
You can only get appointment for the next day at the earliest They have wasted 4 days of my time while being sick as first they asked me to send a photo then they scheduled the second call to discuss the photo and examine for 2 days later just to say that it is best to go and see a GP in-person It is a waste of money

Complete Shambles and dangerous
Probably the most shambolic and poor patient experience I have ever had Rude no sympathy and little interest as opposed how they were going to be paid I complained directly to the CEO Ranjan He was probably the most arrogant self centered individual I have ever had the misfortune to converse with THIS BUSINESS NEEDS A HEALTH WARNING I will be taking my complaints directly to the CQC as there is no way the should be allowed to advise anyone

Not recommended
I am an NHS clinician so know more than most how things should work I wanted to try out Hero Health as they came FOC with another healthcare policy I have and I had a simple condition that required a prescription for some cream What should be an easy process was over complicated full of errors and required me to follow up at every stage Not recommended unfortunately

Why hide costs
When checking to use this service I fortunately went to Trustpilot first as well as other reviews on the web I decided to dismiss them as it always concerns me when the costs are hidden Additionally I note on their own web site that they do not serve the UK as yet but forthcoming Their H O is in London

Terrible
Terrible There was a link to this service through my own GP surgery and in desperation I decided to pay for an online consultation for my son as I could not get a GP appointment I was told when the video started that the service is not for under 16s that it was in their terms and conditions and I would therefore not receive a refund I ve complained but if course they ve all backed themselves up so I ve paid for nothing It was NOT clear the service wasn t for under 16s Awful company
