See a doctor online in Waterford City today
Waterford City is often described as Ireland's oldest city, founded by the Vikings on the River Suir, in Co. Waterford.
As the county town of Co. Waterford, Waterford City is a natural hub for the surrounding area, and DrCall serves patients right across the county.
A video or phone consultation gives you access to the same Irish-registered GPs without the commute. Your doctor can send prescriptions electronically to a pharmacy near you and explain the next steps clearly.
Why see an online doctor in Waterford City?
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.
An online doctor lets you get medical advice without leaving Waterford City. You book a time, speak to an Irish-registered GP by video or phone, and receive the same kind of clinical assessment you would expect at a local surgery — for the many problems that do not need a physical examination.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Waterford City 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 Waterford City?
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.
What happens after I book an appointment?
Your request goes to our team, who confirm it or suggest another time. Your card is only authorised at booking and is charged once your GP confirms. You will get an email at each step.
Is an online doctor consultation private and safe?
Yes. Consultations use secure, GDPR-compliant technology, our doctors follow Irish Medical Council guidelines, and the same doctor–patient confidentiality applies as in a face-to-face visit.
What if I need a doctor in person in Waterford City 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.

In an emergency call 112 or 999. If your concern suits a video or phone consultation, you can book DrCall any day.
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.
How long does an online GP consultation take?
