Free therapy!
September 14, 2022

Who knew that a video chat with a random stranger to verify my identity could be so lovely? Not me, probably not you either, but it was! Joseph was not only helpful, but he also made me laugh and encouraged me to follow my entrepreneurial aspirations. The chat was more of a therapy session than anything and it was free! 10/10 would recommend!

Frustration
October 14, 2022

The system for prescribing controlled substances is cumbersome and frustrating. From the point of view of a prescribe r, there ought to be an option in which said prescriber would be permanently authenticated without having to be authenticated anew each time he or she has to write a prescription for a controlled substance. Using "triplicates" in the "old days" was certainly simpler and infinitely more efficient.

Very easy to use and not too long of a wait
September 14, 2022

I needed to verify my identity for TWC and was placed in the direction of ID.me. It was very easy to upload my documents and send them in. The wait was a little while but I've waited longer. Also the representative I talked with was very kind and professional. The call was done and over with in minutes. It was a pleasant experience for having to do something I didn't want to.
