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. Take note that a medical certificate is a legal document affixed with my signature so there will be an additional charge of P250.00. Medical certificates are not part of insurance coverage and shall only be given for specific valid reasons and after the consultation.

Can I message you on your social media accounts?

Please keep all consult-related questions here on this platform. For any new concerns, please book another appointment.

How long does a typical session last?

A typical session lasts around 15-30 minutes per patient. It can take longer depending on the case and the needs of the patient.

Which HMO's/Healthcards do you accept?

I regret to inform you that at this time, I do not accept any HMOs.

What if the doctor does not respond within the guaranteed time?

Your request will be automatically cancelled by the system.

How long do I need to wait to get a response to my booking request?

I kindly request your understanding that occasionally there may be delays in accepting appointments due to the nature of my work. As a surgeon, there are instances when I am engaged in lengthy operations, which can result in longer waiting times for new appointments. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that I strive to provide the highest level of care to each patient. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

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 offered during the consultation.

Can I book a face to face consultation with you?

Please note that I am currently only able to accommodate face-to-face conversations if you are located within Western Samar. If you are outside of this area, we can arrange for a remote consultation via phone or video call instead.
