Medical certificate was rejected and denied a refund.

Their medical certificate was rejected by the Airlines. I requested them to complete the medical paperwork sent to me by the airlines but they refused.

I even sent them the rejection email and requested a refund but they denied my refund. Do not use this service, This is all scam, although certified by medical doctor their certificate will not be accepted by airlines or insurance company. AVOID AT ALL COST.

Hi Jacob,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been when your airline did not accept the documentation.

We’d like to clarify a few important points:

- The fee paid was for a consultation with your Partner Doctor, who issued a medical outcome at their clinical discretion. As outlined in our terms, all outcomes are issued at the sole discretion of your Partner Doctor.

- The letter issued is a valid medical statement from a GMC-registered Partner Doctor. However, acceptance of any medical documentation ultimately depends on the specific requirements of third parties such as airlines or insurance providers. Unfortunately, these criteria vary and are outside of our control, so we cannot guarantee acceptance.

- During the consultation request process, it is also clearly stated and agreed to that your Partner Doctor is unable to complete external or custom forms provided by third parties.

- If a third party requires additional clarification, we are able to help verify the medical letter and can submit a complimentary amendment request to your Partner Doctor for review. However, we cannot determine or guarantee whether a third party will ultimately accept the documentation.

If you have any further questions, or would like to submit an amendment request to your Partner Doctor for review, please feel free to contact our support team at contact@updoc.uk and we’ll be happy to assist.

Kind regards,
Updoc Support

Not impressed

Not impressed, unprofessional and poor communication.

I fell ill on Friday and required a doctors certificate for work.

I filled in the details, submitted the application and received a text with a link to my certificate.

Upon clicking the link all I found was a grey screen or a message saying I "didn't have permission" to view the document.

I have repeated this process several times.

Because I cannot provide a doctors certificate I will not be payed for the day off sick.

I have emailed support multiple times, only received one reply claiming they have already responded when I found no such reply and have ignored my emails since.

Utterly unprofessional and poor communication on their part, the next time I feel unwell I will see what other options are available prior to using this service again.

Hi Joshua,

Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate a matching consultation in our UK system based on the details provided in your review. Some of the processes you described also differ from how requests are typically handled through our UK service.

It’s possible that your consultation was completed through another regional Updoc service, such as Updoc Australia, which operates separately from Updoc UK. In that case, their support team would be best placed to review your request and assist with any billing concerns.

If you believe your consultation was completed through Updoc UK, please feel free to contact our support team at contact@updoc.uk and include the email address used for the consultation so we can investigate this further.

Kind regards,
Updoc support

Hi Lew,

We're very sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating unexpected charges can be, and we take these concerns seriously.

Additionally, our terms, billing cycle, and subscription model are clearly outlined at sign-up and reinforced in a confirmation email immediately after activation.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to identify your account based on this review alone. We would like to resolve this as a priority, please contact us directly at contact@updoc.uk so we can locate your account, cancel any active subscription, and review any charges.

Thank you for your understanding and patience while we work with you to resolve this issue.

Warm regards,

Disgusting behaviour from the partner…

Disgusting behaviour from the partner doctor that was rude and unprofessional. Made a complaint to their email address that was just ignored. There is better online more professional doctors out there.

Efficient and helpful

Updoc is quick and efficient. I was unwell and couldn’t get a Dr’s appointment, the thought of catching a bus and travelling was too much. Updoc is online and perfect.
