Not sure this is right?
A general practitioner can assess your concern and refer you to the right specialist. It is usually the faster and cheaper first step.
General practiceNeed care at home?
Some care in this area may be available as a home visit, depending on the professionals covering your area.
Care at homeTests or scans?
Where a professional orders diagnostics, DropDr connects the request to laboratory services and returns results to both of you.

Related categories
Health concerns rarely sit in one box. These categories often come up alongside this one.
Can child health be handled in an online consultation?
Many child health concerns can be assessed remotely — history, symptoms, photographs where relevant, and review of previous results. Some need a physical examination or a test first. The professional decides what is clinically appropriate and will tell you if you need to be seen in person.
What should I have ready before the consultation?
A list of your symptoms and when they started, any medicines you take, relevant previous test results, and any questions you want answered. A stable connection and a quiet, private space help more than people expect.
Will I get a prescription?
Where the professional judges it clinically appropriate, they can issue a digital prescription which you take to the pharmacy of your choice. Prescribing is a clinical decision and is never guaranteed by booking a consultation. See after your consultation.
How much will it cost?
Each professional sets their own consultation fee and it is shown on their profile before you book.
Can I choose a professional who speaks my language?
Yes. Professionals list the languages they consult in and you can filter for them. See language matching.
