Questions about HelloDoc Health
No, when required we also provide onsite visits or we will make sure you will have access to the nearest physical healthcare provider wherever you are.
How we work?
In principle, the first appointment with a general practitioner, therapist or other healthcare provider is always by live chat, telephone or digitally (video). When it is better to discuss your healthcare needs at our physical practice, our GP or therapist will invite you for an appointment at the practice or onsite at the location where you reside at that moment.
Would you like to make an appointment for a healthcare demand that requires physical contact, such as heart diagnostics, ear syringes or the insertion of an IUD? Then you can immediately make an appointment at for a physical consult. In addition, you can always arrange all your healthcare matters online via our patient portal.

Yes, we do. However, at present only in the Netherlands. In other countries and regions we work with local partners. So, if our doctors think you need a physical examination, you’ll be referred to the best local primary healthcare services in your area. This could include blood pressure checks, taking X-ray photos, ultrasound, inoculations, lab tests or a closer physical examination.
