Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Ballybofey 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.
Is an “online Dr” a real doctor?
Yes. Every DrCall consultation is carried out by a doctor registered with the Irish Medical Council, following the same professional standards as a surgery visit.
Can an online Dr in Ballybofey send me a prescription?
Where your doctor considers it clinically appropriate, yes — it is sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose. Some medicines cannot be prescribed online, such as benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids and stimulants.
How long does an online GP consultation take?
A typical consultation lasts around 15 minutes, though your doctor will take the time they need to help you properly.
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 Ballybofey 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. Donegal is served by more than one out-of-hours service depending on where you live — use the HSE finder to find yours. 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 get a prescription or sick cert online in Ballybofey?
Yes, where your doctor considers it clinically appropriate. Prescriptions are sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose, and sick certs are available for work or college. DrCall cannot prescribe benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids or stimulants.
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.
