If Teladoc is in trouble, maybe Dalton/UNVC can do it better. ????
The Doctor Will See You Now
There are likely few people who haven't heard of the basic premise of Teladoc's (NYSE:TDOC) business: instead of physically going to a doctor or therapist's office, you log into a virtual patient space and have your appointment conducted online. While it may not seem so novel today given the ubiquity of online meetings in general, prior to 2002 (the year Teladoc was founded), on-screen virtual meetings with doctors were still pretty much only found on episodes of The Jetsons.
On paper the concept makes great sense: reduce the friction of in-office visits, increase physician productivity, and cut down on administrative and overhead costs associated with physical visits. The reality, however, has proven not to be so kind to Teladoc, and investors have soured in recent years on the stock.
