Seeing a doctor in the Philippines has traditionally meant travel, a waiting room, and half a day gone. Teleconsultation removes all three: you speak to a licensed physician from your phone, usually within minutes.
What is an online doctor consultation?
An online doctor consultation is a video or chat visit with a board-certified physician. The doctor takes your history, assesses your symptoms, and — where clinically appropriate — issues a prescription or a referral, exactly as they would in a clinic.

What does it cost?
A general practitioner consultation is ₱499. Nurse advice is free. Specialist rates vary by field.
When should you see a doctor in person instead?
Teleconsultation suits most common concerns — fever, coughs and colds, skin complaints, UTIs, prescription renewals, and follow-ups. Seek in-person or emergency care for chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, or any suspected emergency.
