Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Ballyfin 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 Ballyfin?

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.

Who can see my consultation details?

Your details are used to provide your care and are handled in line with GDPR. Consultations are confidential, exactly as they would be in a surgery.

What should I have ready for my online consultation?

Find a quiet, private place with a good signal, keep your phone charged, and have your medication names and any recent readings to hand. Your doctor will call you at the time you booked.

What if I need a doctor in person in Ballyfin 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. Laois, contact MIDOC Laois — 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 a doctor at the weekend in Ballyfin?

Yes. DrCall runs seven days a week, so weekend and evening appointments are available — the booking page shows the live 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.
