Because You Shouldn’t Have to Wait Weeks for a 10-Minute Appointment

We've all been there. You’re feeling crummy, your kid has a cough, or you’ve run out of your usual prescription—and the next available doctor’s appointment is... next Thursday. Or worse, next month. It’s frustrating, especially when you know exactly what you need. But here’s the thing: healthcare doesn’t have to be this hard.

That’s why Parkway Pharmacy is making it easier than ever to get the care you need when you need it, thanks to telehealth services offered right through their pharmacy. Yep, you can see a licensed provider online and have your prescription sent directly to Parkway—no waiting rooms, no hold music, and no runaround.

For busy Philadelphians, this service is a game-changer. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, need a quick consult for a minor issue, or simply can’t squeeze in a doctor’s visit between work and life, Parkway’s telehealth platform gives you a faster, easier, and stress-free option.

What Is Telehealth (and Why Is It Such a Big Deal)?

Telehealth is exactly what it sounds like—healthcare services provided via phone or video, so you can connect with a licensed healthcare provider from anywhere. It’s not just for urgent care anymore, either. More and more people are using telehealth for everything from medication refills and minor illnesses to mental health check-ins and chronic care follow-ups.

Parkway Pharmacy now offers access to telemedicine visits online, so you don’t have to wait weeks for an appointment or waste hours sitting in a waiting room. With just a few clicks, you can chat with a provider, get the care you need, and have your prescriptions sent directly to Parkway—ready for pickup or delivery.

It’s perfect for treating things like:

  • Colds, flu, and sinus infections

  • Skin conditions or rashes

  • Urinary tract infections

  • Medication refills

  • Birth control consults

  • And more

If you're not feeling well—or just need fast access to a healthcare provider—telehealth at Parkway makes it all happen without the usual headaches.

How It Works (Yes, It’s That Simple)

Getting started with Parkway’s telehealth couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is head over to their homepage and click the link to begin your virtual visit. You’ll answer a few quick questions, connect with a licensed provider, and once your visit is complete, your prescription is sent straight to Parkway Pharmacy.

There’s no need to call multiple places, track down forms, or figure out where your script went. It’s all seamless, all in one flow—and you’re done in a fraction of the time it would take to drive across town.

The best part? Once your prescription is sent in, Parkway fills it with the same personal care they’ve been known for over the last 50+ years. Whether you pick it up in-store or opt for free delivery, you’re getting trusted local service from real people who actually know your name—not just your script number.

Who Benefits Most from Telehealth?

Short answer? Pretty much everyone. But it’s especially helpful for:

  • Busy parents who don’t have time to sit in waiting rooms with a sick kid

  • Professionals with packed schedules who can’t afford to take time off work

  • Seniors or those with mobility challenges who prefer to stay home

  • Anyone who needs care quickly, without the scheduling circus

And because Parkway is Philly’s only pharmacy with transparent pricing, you can check the cost of your medication before you even walk in the door. That means no surprises—just smart, simple care that puts you back in control.

Why More Philadelphians Are Choosing Parkway

In a sea of big-box pharmacies and faceless retail healthcare, Parkway stands out by keeping things personal. For over five decades, they’ve served the community with compassion, care, and the kind of pharmacy experience that actually feels human.

The team at Parkway knows your name, your story, and your health goals. That’s what keeps locals coming back, and why so many people are making the switch from national chains to a neighborhood pharmacy that actually gets it.
