General
MyPocketDoctor is the first telemedicine app in the Philippines. We connect patients with board-certified Filipino physicians via secure phone and video consultations, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our doctors provide medical advice, e-prescriptions, medical certificates, and follow-up care — all from the comfort of your home.
MyPocketDoctor was established in 2006, making us a pioneer in Philippine telemedicine with nearly two decades of experience. Since 2014, we have facilitated over 800,000 consultations.
Yes. Our general practitioners are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. You can book a consultation at any time — whether it's the middle of the night, a weekend, or a holiday.
MyPocketDoctor is a telemedicine service — all consultations are conducted remotely via phone or video call. Our corporate office is located at Level 24, Philippine Stock Exchange Tower, One Bonifacio High Street, 5th Ave. cor. 28th St., BGC, Taguig, but this is not a patient clinic.
You can reach us by email at [email protected], by SMS at 21585760 (Globe/TM) or 225655760 (Smart/TNT), or by calling our trunk line at +632 8596 3667. You can also message us through our Facebook page.

Yes. We have a licensed dentist on our team who can provide teleconsultations for dental concerns, oral health advice, and orthodontic guidance. You can view our dental professional on the Doctors page.
Yes. Our doctors can issue e-prescriptions that are sent electronically to pharmacies for home delivery or pickup. E-prescriptions are included with every consultation at no extra charge.
Yes, our doctors can issue medical certificates during your teleconsultation. Medical certificates are available for an additional fee. For medical certificate validation and other inquiries, email [email protected].
No. Fit-to-work certificates and government-mandated forms (such as those required for employment or school enrollment) require a physical examination and cannot be issued through teleconsultation. You will need to visit a clinic in person for these.
Our doctors can assess your need for a prescription refill during a teleconsultation, but this is subject to clinical judgment. Refills for controlled substances, medications requiring lab monitoring, or prescriptions originally issued by another physician may require an in-person visit. The doctor will advise you during your consultation.
