Reasons to Use Convenient Care Now
Below are the reasons consumers use our product/service. Included are all major copy points and visual evidence listed in order of relative importance to the client/consumer.

After speaking to the doctor, I was giving some helpful hints on how to prepare for the cold season. He told me to dress in layers, make sure that I took vitamins and drink enough fluids. He did tell me if I got a cold, remember to take it easy and rest. After the visit he advised that in my account would be all the notes from my visit in a private message from him. He also advised if I had any questions or concerns that I should message him back. He also said that if things worsened in a couple of days to contact him and he would take the next steps.
