About Dr. Lisa Hiller

I am an Emergency Physician with 19 years of experience working in a hospital Emergency Room setting and affiliated Urgent Care clinics. I am specialized in Emergency Medicine, Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Emergency Ultrasound, and Critical Care. However, the majority of my daily patient care is focused on Primary Care and Urgent Care complaints/problems, their diagnoses and formulating treatment plans. I also have in the past 2 years acquired specific expertise in Telemedicine working both in the hospital's TeleUrgent Care program spanning multiple US western states and also in Telemedicine with a private group based in California since the beginning of the pandemic. I have found this to be a critical bridge for patients all over the country who need access to care and quick attention to their needs. This has been an incredibly rewarding and quite effective way to practice medicine in a timely fashion, addressing issues as they arise while much of our current US healthcare system requires that patients wait for precious days or weeks to be seen, heard, diagnosed, and treated. Telemedicine is a desperately needed adjunct to improve our current healthcare system and it is the wave of the future that I am thrilled to be riding on with my patients!

What Patients are Saying

I absolutely love how easy it is to see a urgent care on this app. For people like me who have waited years for treatment due to being embarrassed and afraid of the cost if I go in person, this is life changing! The doctors are very personal when developing a treatment plan and are very easy to contact and work with. Prescriptions are always available at my pharmacy right away. I can’t explain enough just how much being able to treat my skin problems from my own home has impacted me!
Lynsey

The ability to take photos and speak virtually to a urgent care is well worth the price. No need for an in-person visit, while receiving the same quality of care. Additionally, there is no time pressure with SkyMD^®, whereas in-person visits may be rushed due to the quantity of patients in the clinic.
David

Knowledgeable. Better than in person. Usually urgent care doesn’t care to listen what patients have to say about their past experience. The internet has enabled many people to better understand their condition. SkyMD^® gives the patient an opportunity to, in detail, discuss his/her experiences.
Miguel

My doctor provided in depth counseling as to what condition I had, what aggravated it, my treatment options, considerations for my budget, as well as a treatment plan that mitigated my risk of known side effects from the medication. I felt respected and cared for as a patient.
Rebecca

I was surprised at how fast my visit/case was reviewed by a Dermatologist. My visit was actually much better than the one I would have received with an in-person urgent care. I was able to get a diagnosis and prescription within an hour of submitting my visit.
Lauren

I explained what problems I was having, sent in a few pictures to further explain and had a urgent care message me within hours of me submitting my visit request and had an Rx sent to my pharmacy of choice later that day. Overall it has been a very fast and great experience.
Shelby

Quick diagnosis, ease of use, ability to message my doctor, ability to make follow up appointments at no additional charge, ability to get diagnosis over the weekend, uploading pictures to get diagnosis, native mobile app, sleek UI
Yoon Kyung

It was fast and easy. The cost was reasonable. I didn’t have to leave the house or schedule an appointment months in advance. RX was sent to my pharmacy and the doctor gave me a good treatment plan to follow. This was better than what I expected and I will recommend this service to anyone.
