How a video or phone GP appointment works in Ballygarvan
Video helps when your doctor needs to see something — a rash, a swelling or how you are breathing. A voice call is fine for many other consultations. Your doctor will tell you if they need to see you on camera.
If the signal drops, your doctor will simply call you back. If a problem cannot be dealt with remotely, they will explain what to do next.
- Doctor calls you at your booked time
- Phone or WhatsApp video — nothing to install
- Find a quiet, private place with a signal
- Have your medicines list to hand
- Same price whether it is video or phone: from €35

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Ballygarvan 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 Ballygarvan?
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.
Can I get a prescription or sick cert online in Ballygarvan?
Yes, where your doctor considers it clinically appropriate. Prescriptions are sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose, and sick certs are available for work or college. DrCall cannot prescribe benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids or stimulants.
When can I book an online doctor?
Appointments are available seven days a week, including evenings and weekends, in 15-minute slots. The booking page shows the live, bookable times.
What if I need a doctor in person in Ballygarvan 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.

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.
