Can I book a face to face consultation with you?

Yes, I accept patients for face to face consult, but request that appointments be made at least 24 hours prior. Patients who have been seen online and prefer to shift to face to face or vice versa may shift to their preferred platform at their preference.

Can I message you via the NowServing app?

Yes, you can send me a message through the NowServing app once I already accepted your appointment. You will receive a reply as soon as possible.

Do you issue Medical Certificates?

Yes. Kindly note that medical certificates shall only be given for specific valid reasons and after the consultation. As a medical certificate is a legal document affixed with my signature, it will incur an additional charge of P500. Prior to releasing medical certificates, a consent form to release your medical information will also need to be signed through a link sent to your email.

Do you accept pediatric patients?

At present I only accept patients aged 19 and older.

Do I need to pay first to get an appointment?

Yes, you will have to pay the fee before I will receive the request. The consultation fee includes only the following: examining the patient regarding the complaint, giving the correct diagnosis, and giving the appropriate management/prescription. There will be additional fees charges to you for any additional services (such as medical certificates) offered during the consultation.

Which HMO's/Healthcards do you accept?

I am not affiliated with any HMO's/Healthcards at this time.
