Hi - I’m Ray, the founder of Spruce.
We think the majority of healthcare will eventually be delivered via telemedicine, and it's our goal to define the doctor’s visit in a world where both doctors and patients are interacting through mobile devices. We started by focusing on a single condition - the treatment of acne by board-certified dermatologists - so that we could be sure to deliver a comprehensive experience (more than a communication channel + MD network) that both patients & doctors would hopefully prefer to an in-person visit. We’ve received great feedback thus far, and today we’re extending the set of conditions users can be treated for on Spruce to a broad range of dermatological concerns. Skin concerns are #1 reason for doctor visits in US and yet there is a 29 day wait time to see a dermatologist, so we think the product tackles a big problem.
To celebrate our launch, all new users get their first Spruce visit free (applied automatically no codes needed). We’d love your feedback!

works by letting patients fill out the usual form they’d normally spend time doing at the doctor’s office and then taking a picture of their skin to send to the doctor at their own convenience. Similar to Derm hunted before.
Really interested in this space. This team focused a lot more on the experience than most & it shows. But the tag line should read something closer to 'Get your skin right.' than something as generic as they have it currently.
