How It Works
- Get Started: Visit MDAnywhere from any device — no appointment necessary. Simply create your account, select your reason for visit, and fill out a brief health questionnaire so our doctors understand your situation right away.
- Message a Doctor: You'll be connected with a board-certified physician licensed in California who will review your information, ask any follow-up questions needed, and evaluate whether an official work or school note is appropriate for your circumstances. Our doctors are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — including weekends and holidays.
- Get Your Official Work or School Note: Once your doctor has completed their evaluation, your official work or school note will be sent directly to you digitally, so you can forward it to your employer or school without delay. No waiting rooms, no long waits, no hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an official work or school note from MDAnywhere accepted by employers and schools in California?
Yes. Notes issued through MDAnywhere are signed by board-certified, California-licensed physicians, which makes them legitimate medical documentation. Most employers and academic institutions in California accept physician-signed notes. If you have specific concerns about your school or employer's policy, it's always a good idea to check with them directly, but our doctor-issued notes meet the standard requirements.
How quickly will I receive my official work or school note after my visit?
Most patients receive their official work or school note very quickly — often within the same session once the doctor has reviewed your information and determined that a note is appropriate. Because everything is handled digitally, there's no printing or mailing involved. You'll get your note sent to you electronically so you can share it with your employer or school right away.
Do I need to have a previous diagnosis or medical records to get a work or school note through MDAnywhere?
Not necessarily. Our board-certified doctors will review the health information you provide during your visit and ask any additional questions they need to make a proper evaluation. You don't need to bring prior records, though sharing relevant health history can help your doctor give you the best care. As long as you're 18 or older and located in California, you can get started without an appointment at any time.
