How an online GP consultation works in Ballybane, Galway City

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 Ballybane, Galway City, 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 Ballybane, Galway 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 the difference between an online GP and my local GP in Ballybane, Galway City?

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.

What if I need a doctor in person in Ballybane, Galway 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. Galway, contact Westdoc on 0818 360 000 — 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 claim an online GP visit on my health insurance?

Some private health insurers offer cashback or cover for GP visits, so check your policy. DrCall consultations are paid for privately by card.

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 see a doctor at the weekend in Ballybane, Galway City?
