“Doctor On Demand, a start-up that facilitates quick video consultations with physicians closed a $21 million Series A round led by Venrock. Consumers can access in under three minutes a physician from a smartphone or a desktop. Founded only eight months ago, Doctor On Demand has gained rapid visibility thanks to its founders, television personality Dr. Phil and his son Jay McGraw who produces The Doctors, a health talk show where viewers can submit questions to a small stable of doctors. A TV promotion caught the eye of British mogul Richard Branson while on a trip to the U.S. He joins Venrock and Shasta Ventures in this round.”
