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.
Do I need to download an app for a video GP appointment?
No. Your doctor contacts you by phone call or WhatsApp video call on the number you provide when booking. You do not need a DrCall account.
What if my connection is poor in Athy?
Tell the doctor straight away. A normal phone call usually works even where video does not, and your doctor can call you back if the line drops.

Yes. DrCall runs seven days a week, so weekend and evening appointments are available — the booking page shows the live times.
Who can see my consultation details?
Your details are used to provide your care and are handled in line with GDPR. Consultations are confidential, exactly as they would be in a surgery.
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.
