Why see an online doctor in Ballintra?

People in Ballintra often choose an online doctor because it removes the travel and the waiting room. You can take the consultation at home, at work or between shifts, as long as you are somewhere private with a phone signal.

Most online doctor appointments are for everyday problems: infections, skin complaints, contraception, repeat medication, certificates and general advice. If your doctor decides you need to be examined in person, they will tell you and explain the next step.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Ballintra cost?

A DrCall online consultation starts from €35. That covers your consultation, including a sick cert, repeat prescription or referral where clinically appropriate. Your card is only authorised when you book and is charged once a GP confirms your appointment.

What is an online doctor?

An online doctor is a registered doctor who consults with you remotely, by video or phone, instead of in a surgery. With DrCall you choose a time, tell us what is wrong, and your Irish-registered GP contacts you at your appointment.

Is an online doctor as good as seeing a GP in person in Ballintra?

For many everyday problems, yes — much of a GP consultation is a conversation about your symptoms and history. Some problems do need an in-person examination, and your doctor will tell you if that is the case.

When can I book an online doctor?

Appointments are available seven days a week, including evenings and weekends, in 15-minute slots. The booking page shows the live, bookable times.

Can I book a follow-up if I need one?

Yes. If your doctor wants to review you again they will say so, and you can simply book another appointment online.

What if I need a doctor in person in Ballintra tonight?

DrCall is an online service, so we cannot send a doctor to your door. For urgent in-person care when surgeries are closed in Co. Donegal, contact NoWDOC and local Donegal out-of-hours services — it is an appointment-only service with its own fees.

You can also find your nearest out-of-hours GP or emergency department on the HSE website. In an emergency call 112 or 999. If your concern suits a video or phone consultation, you can book DrCall any day.

Can I see an online doctor in Ballintra today?

Yes. DrCall appointments are available every day and most patients can be seen the same day. Choose the next available time on our booking page — the earliest bookable slot is 30 minutes from now.

Which pharmacy will my prescription go to?

The pharmacy you choose when you book. If your doctor issues a prescription it is sent electronically to that pharmacy, so you can collect it close to Ballintra.
