How an online GP consultation works in Ballinhassig
You do not need a DrCall account. If you have a regular GP in Ballinhassig, mention them when you book — your online doctor may suggest follow-up with them where that is the sensible next step.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Ballinhassig 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 Ballinhassig?
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.
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.
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 Ballinhassig 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. Cork, contact SouthDoc on 0818 355 999 — 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.
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.
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 Ballinhassig.
