Happy dog representing an emotional support animal — My ESA MD

Quick summary: in a nutshell 🥜

Call or email MyESAMD, pay a one-time fee of $110, speak with a licensed physician in a same-day telehealth consultation, and, if an ESA is right for you, receive your physician-signed ESA letter via PDF — no subscriptions, no hidden fees, and we never sell your information. No memberships, no other products or services to sell. We do one thing at MyESAMD, and that is why you can be sure of our outstanding quality, professionalism, and the care you will receive from a licensed physician on our team.

The process — step by step

1

Give us a call or email us

Give a call to the front desk staff at MyESAMD — you can email us at info@myesamd.com too! During this initial call we gather some general information about yourself, your pet (and soon-to-be ESA), and your email address where we will send your invoice. We simply ask your pet's name, breed and sex. We also inquire into the symptoms you experience and how your pet provides relief. If you feel this is a bit personal, or simply want to save that information until you speak to the Doctor, that's completely fine and understandable. Your invoice is a one-time fee of $110 — email addresses are never sold to a third party or kept on a CRM.

2

Pay your one-time fee of $110

We send an invoice to the email address provided to us. We use third-party billing such as PayPal or Zelle if you prefer — we never keep your credit card on file, and no account number or routing number is required. Once the invoice is paid, the doctor will usually give you a call within one hour or at the predetermined time discussed with the front desk. No recurring charges — ever.

3

Speak with a licensed physician — your telehealth ESA consultation

Once the payment is received, you can expect a call for a telehealth consultation from your physician within one hour or during the predetermined appointment time. During this conversation you'll share with your physician your history with your pet, your symptoms, and how your pet assists you with those symptoms. During this telehealth ESA consultation, the doctor will determine the medical necessity and whether an ESA is an appropriate treatment for the symptoms you are living with. We are a real medical practice, not a document mill. Every physician on our team puts medical ethics first — they are here to work for you, with you, and guide you through a time in your life where your ESA is your respite and safe place.

4

Receive your ESA letter — usually the same day

After a successful consultation, our staff will draft your personalized ESA letter, signed by a licensed MD on our team. Your letter is delivered via digital delivery in PDF format and will feature the official letterhead of the practice, signed by a licensed physician. The letter includes a statement of medical necessity and the information housing providers typically need. Most patients receive their letter the same day! (California residents with dogs follow a 30-day process required by state law.) At MyESAMD we do not charge expedited fees. We do our best to get the letter to you the same day because we understand its importance. Medical decisions are made promptly because we are a real, physician-led practice with your needs in mind.

What your ESA letter includes

Signature of a licensed medical doctor

Doctor's license number and NPI

Statement of medical necessity

Practice contact information for landlord or housing office verification

The information housing providers typically ask for

Official practice letterhead

The letter is written to include the information housing providers typically ask for when they review an ESA accommodation request. The contact information of our practice is on the ESA letter. Your physician's state licensure is available upon request and can be verified and provided upon request from your housing authority or landlord.

Why choose MyESAMD?

MyESAMD is a family business — a physician-led practice, not a faceless corporate Goliath. We are on your side and will vouch for you.

One flat fee — $110, no more, no less

That one-time fee covers your initial consultation, your telehealth appointment with a licensed physician, your ESA letter if you qualify, and any verification paperwork the housing office or landlord sends our way. Further communications and questions fielded to our staff or doctor are free of charge as well. We don't quote you one price and bill you another.

Same-day service for most patients

Same day. Online. This is Telehealth. We do not charge expedited fees. Most patients get their letter the same day, because we understand its importance. Try getting your local physician, psychologist or veterinarian on the phone to answer your questions or soothe your concerns within an hour — that's a tough ask. This is the kind of one-on-one attention and care you get from MyESAMD.

We go to bat for you

Any additional paperwork or verifications that your housing office or landlord requires will be handled by a licensed MD and our staff, at no extra charge. No housing authority is going to intimidate our team or bully you. Your need for your ESA is real, and we'll make that case clearly and professionally, explaining the federal and state protections that apply where you live. We stand behind every letter we issue.

No scams. No gimmicks. Real medicine.

There is no registration process. We don't ask for a copy of your identification, Social Security number or credit card. We offer no subscriptions and we do not bill you automatically — monthly or ever. No ID cards, no scams, no gimmicks. No letter is sent without a telehealth evaluation with a doctor first, regardless of payment status. This is not a pay-to-play service — this is a physician-led medical practice.

DR

Dr. Rick Rieser, MD — Medical Director

Dr. Rieser has practiced medicine for more than 30 years — from Stanford Medical School to emergency surgery to oncology treatments. He's seen it all. No problem is too big. When it comes to ESA letters, he is your doctor, you are his patient, the ESA is your companion, and you have the right to ask for a reasonable accommodation to share your home and your life with your ESA.

Your privacy is protected

Here at MyESAMD, we take your privacy seriously. We are aware of the scams, the selling of information to third-party vendors, and possible hacks that occur in the digital age. That's why we only ask for what we need to care for you: your name, how to reach you, and the information your physician needs to evaluate whether an ESA is right for you.

Your medical records are kept confidential and secure, as the law requires, and we never sell your information or share it with marketers. We don't ask for your Social Security number, and we never store your credit card details — payments go through trusted processors like PayPal or Zelle. Our pricing is transparent: a one-time fee of $110, and that's it. We operate within the telehealth regulations of the state of our patient's residence. You can read more in our Privacy Policy.

Who is this process designed for?

We service renters needing accommodation, students eligible for on-campus housing, individuals moving into a new apartment or condo, and even people who have recently experienced a denial due to pets in the past. Individuals who qualify for an ESA may suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, panic disorders, or other emotional disabilities recognized by the NIH, WHO, and the SSA. The presence of these disorders in a patient can be determined by their medical history and/or during your telehealth consultation with a licensed MD.

What we do not offer

  • No registration process or ID verification
  • No subscriptions or automatic monthly billing
  • No ID cards, gimmicks, or fake credentials
  • No letters issued without a real telehealth evaluation first
  • No upsells, add-ons, or hidden products
  • No Social Security number or credit card required

Why medical oversight matters

Medical oversight is of the utmost importance regarding ESAs — not only to ensure the quality of care, but legal compliance. Care from a licensed physician is a first step towards resolving a patient's ailments. You can be sure you're receiving professional healthcare from a licensed physician. You won't be prescribed medications with adverse side effects that don't address the root cause.

Once approved, your letter supports your request for a reasonable accommodation to live with your ESA, even where a rental company doesn't allow pets. Your ESA will be able to calm, comfort and guide you forward to a fruitful, fulfilling life. Our primary concern is your relationship with your ESA and how this relationship is beneficial to both the patient and the animal. The doctor determines medical necessity before you receive your telehealth ESA letter, during your secure medical evaluation.

At MyESAMD, no letter is sent without a telehealth evaluation with a doctor first, regardless of payment status. This is not a pay-to-play service — this is a physician-led medical practice.
