Frequently Asked Questions
What is Medici?
Medici is a mobile application that connects you with your veterinarian through secure text, call or video. Medici allows our doctors to care for your pet from anywhere – the couch, the office or even out and about. We see Medici as a way to continue our care after hours or at times when a trip into the clinic may not be possible or isn’t necessarily needed.
Where can I get the Medici app?
You can download the app for iPhone or Android systems here: https://www.medici.md/get-medici.
After you have downloaded the app, you can input a code to connect directly with Dr. Cote. The code is COTEFRE707.
What sort of questions can I ask on Medici?
Our vision for Medici is another means to connect with our patients:
- Follow-up on previous injuries or illnesses or after a surgery
- Consultations to determine if a visit to the clinic is warranted for a new problem
- Diabetic and other chronic disease management (depends on the situation)
- After-hours consultations for minor problems and/or to determine if emergency care is needed
- Note: our doctors are not available 24 hrs a day. If you feel your pet is experiencing a true medical emergency, please contact Portland Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Care at (207) 878-3121
How much does it cost?
The cost of the consult depends on the length and complexity of the communications. Phone or video consultations will be more expensive than a simple text conversation. The range of cost is $40-65
