Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Portarlington 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 Portarlington?
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.
How long does an online GP consultation take?
A typical consultation lasts around 15 minutes, though your doctor will take the time they need to help you 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.
What if I need a doctor in person in Portarlington 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.
