Our Operations

Do I need to make an appointment to see a doctor?
No, a scheduled appointment is not needed to talk to a DoktorNow doctor. Log into the app and start a chat. Then the first available doctor will reach out to you.
I had an appointment and now I want to talk to the same doctor again again. Can I do that?

Whenever you need a doctor, your request will be answered by the doctor on duty.

The doctor isn't answering immediately. What should I do?

During your chat with the doctor, there may be periods when the doctor is preparing your referral or is chatting with another patient at the same time. Don’t worry. Just go on with your other business and when the doctor sends you a message, the app will notify you, so you may enter and continue your chat.
