Yes. DrCall runs seven days a week, so weekend and evening appointments are available — the booking page shows the live times.

What if I need a doctor in person in Portlaoise 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.
