Spoke to a Dr within 15mins of booking our appointment and had a script for my son by 7am on a Saturday so he could start antibiotics. Our son still definitely needed to see a Dr face to face to check... See more

Great

If it wasn’t for the 15 mins wait time, which is understandable, consulting for repeat prescription was instant.

Needed a script

Friendly doctor who checked all my symptoms etc. Quick and efficient way to get my script as I forgot my pills on holidays

The doctor is courteous and…

The doctor is courteous and knowledgeable. The wait is approximately 15 minutes. Once connected to the doctor, there were no glitches or issues, everything went smoothly. My only wish is there a way to extend the appointment if it reaches the booked time (by paying extra of course), instead a bell sounded and you lost audio (you can’t hear the GP anymore).

A great app in our current climate

It’s very convenient for me to be able to talk to a doctor as our local hospitals have been reduced big time so it’s hard if not impossible to see someone for a sick leave certificate or a script without waiting a minimum of a few days to a couple of weeks. Instant Consult is instant & easy.

The process was so quick!
Including the booking, and then the call itself. Smooth process, efficient and timely sending the script through as well. Thank you.

For two different sessions

For one session, I had Poor GP service, less than 3 minutes and denied intervention.
For another consult, instant consult overcharged me beyond the “10minute” consult.
I emailed support team and they did not refund the service or honour duration of consults. Not a regulated or standardised service. Support team system not regulated either.

Efficient and Convenient.

Easy to follow app, next to no time waiting for a doctor call back, and the doctor who I had my consult with was friendly, well spoken and seemed to genuinely care.

Highly recommend

I needed urgent antibiotics to fight a tooth infection and was able to connect with a doctor at 6:45am on a Sunday morning. I was having a doctors consultation 10 mins after placing the call (still in my pjs) and had the antibiotics prescription in my inbox straight after the call. The doctor was wonderful. I dread to think how the infection would have spread had I not gotten this incredible service as all dentists in my area were closed until the Monday. Thank you for this critical service, I highly recommend it to anyone who needs it.
