Athy is a town on the River Barrow, in Co. Kildare.
Whether you are in Athy or elsewhere in Co. Kildare — Naas included — you can book the same online GP service.
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.
How an online GP consultation works in Athy
An online GP consultation follows the same shape as a surgery visit. Your doctor asks about your symptoms and medical history, may ask you to describe — or show on camera — what is bothering you, and agrees a plan with you: advice, a prescription, a certificate, a referral, or a recommendation to be seen in person.
You do not need a DrCall account. If you have a regular GP in Athy, mention them when you book — your online doctor may suggest follow-up with them where that is the sensible next step.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Athy 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 the difference between an online GP and my local GP in Athy?
An online GP consults by video or phone, so you can be seen quickly from anywhere. Your local surgery knows your long-term history and can examine you in person. Many people use both — DrCall for convenience and speed, their local GP for ongoing care.
How long is an online GP appointment?
Slots are 15 minutes. Your doctor will take the time they need to deal with your concern properly.
Do I have to travel to see the doctor?
No. Consultations take place by secure video or phone, so you can be at home in Athy — or anywhere else in Ireland — and still see an Irish-registered GP.
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.
What if I need a doctor in person in Athy 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. Kildare, contact KDOC on 045 848 701 — 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 children see the online doctor?
DrCall is not intended for children under 3. For older children, a parent or guardian should make the booking and be with them during the consultation.
Can I get a prescription or sick cert online in Athy?
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.
