How Tono Brings Hospital-Level Specialty Care to You—Wherever You Are

Imagine needing the world’s best chef to prepare a life-changing meal—but you don't live by the best restaurants, the great restaurants are hundreds of miles away. Now imagine that chef ships the ingredients, designs the recipe, and virtually guides a skilled local sous-chef in your kitchen, step-by-step, ensuring it’s executed perfectly.

That’s what Tono does for specialty medical care.

The Power of Expertise—Delivered Virtually

Tono connects patients nationwide with board-certified specialists often based in leading academic medical cities—New York, Boston, San Francisco, and beyond. These are the same doctors who practice in elite hospitals and research institutions. Through secure, face-to-face video visits, they provide the same level of diagnostic insight and care planning you’d expect in a top-tier in-person clinic. Our expert doctors deliver and oversee the care.

But we don’t stop at the screen.

Local Partnerships That Bring the Plan to Life

Tono works hand-in-hand with your local healthcare providers—whether that’s a primary care doctor, lab, infusion center, or home nurse team. If your treatment requires bloodwork, a skin biopsy, a daily dressing change, or even a PICC line placement, we coordinate with trusted local partners to make it happen.

You get both:

  • The best minds in specialty care
  • Hands-on support close to home

Why Patients Love It

Patients trust Tono because we take the time to listen, explain, and personalize care. We have access to your health records, we collaborate with your existing doctors, and we ensure your treatment plan is both world-class and realistic for where you live.

This model especially helps patients with:

  • Chronic inflammatory skin conditions
  • Allergies needing advanced evaluation
  • Cancer-related skin side effects
  • Rare or severe issues that typically require long wait times or academic centers

We’re not trying to replace in-person specialists. In fact, we work closely with them. But when you can’t wait months or travel hours for care, Tono ensures you don’t have to compromise.

A perfect example of the model and life-changing outcomes made possible by this model are shared in Jovette's story: From Flare-Ups to Freedom: Jovette’s Story of Triumph with Tono Health.

Making Advanced Care Feel Simple

Our goal is to remove the friction—the false belief that complex care must mean long drives and long waits. With Tono, you can get hospital-grade thinking and personalized treatment without ever leaving home.

Because when care is designed around you, distance doesn’t matter. Expertise does.
