They were fine up until about a year ago. Amazon has finally started to put their fingerprint on this acquisition, and of course it’s at the expense of the fantastic customer experience that used to be the selling point. Instead it’s all about cutting costs at the customer’s expense while undercutting the competition to put them out of business.
I’m staying for now because the GP I’ve been seeing for years is fantastic and continuity is important to me given current medical status; we’ll see how long that lasts.
I had a friend point out their patient portal didn't even use HTTPS pre-Amazon buyout. They apparently got super hostile and tried to stop refilling his prescriptions unless he saw a specialist to be evaluated for paranoid schitzophrenia.
The inventory was not done, because the psychiatrist did a simple internet search and found they were a well cited academic who was reguarly quoted by reporters on the subject of computer security.
In a city where you're surrounded by hostile foreign governments, yeeting sensitive data unencrypted into the void is extremely careless. (Especially when you factor in that many folks with clearances used DC OneMedical offices.)
I don't know why you think being acquired by Amazon would make them any better at medicine or information technology OP ;-)
Had a bizarre situation for a while where they had physical branches in Texas, could deliver care, but couldn’t take card payments for years. Medical bills could be paid but the actual subscription couldn’t be. They asked for a cheque. Support promised they wouldn’t pursue the charge until they could take card payments. Obviously they reneged (even with the above statement in writing) and sent it to collections.

The modern day dystopian sysiphean nightmares are the worst. Sorry to hear that, hopefully it gets resolved.
I've been trying for two weeks to try and get this resolved
