Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Straffan 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 Straffan?
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 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.
Can I see an online doctor in Straffan today?
Yes. DrCall appointments are available every day and most patients can be seen the same day. Choose the next available time on our booking page — the earliest bookable slot is 30 minutes from now.
What if I need a doctor in person in Straffan 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 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.
