Same day Call-In to Speak to a Doctor
It was easy to make an appointment online. There was no wait time for the call in. Dr. Vukoja was prompt, professional, well-spoken, knowledgeable and courteous. He addressed my issue, answered all my questions and alleviated all my concerns. When our call ended, the response time was phenomenal; within 5 minutes I received a confirmation email with the address of the pharmacy where the doctor had sent my RX, a synopsis of my condition with his recommendation for care, instructions for RX and medications to be administered, and a detailed receipt for insurance purposes. Plus, I can follow up with a call to Dr. Vukoja during the next 7 days if I have any other questions, complications or exacerbation of symptoms. Wonderful medical experience as a traveler to Croatia. Bravo! I would highly recommend Doctorsa if you’re traveling and in need of quick medical care.

Exceptional service - particularly travellers
Out on my luck less than 24 hours to a stay in Bangkok and with a flight home in less than 48 hours, I needed some help to overcome some "Bangkok Belly". I found Doctorsa and was connected with Dr Albert Wu. The sign up process was quick, efficient and I was offered a choice of 3 different doctors with full reviews (all 5 stars by the way). Dr Albert was corteous and professional, and issued a script to help me overcome my illness quickly.This was an excellent service. One that I was glad I found and avoided the significant cost of a $US200 call out fee + a few hours wait no doubt to my hotel when a script and meds was all that was needed.I hope to not have to use the service again, but should I fall ill, I'll know where to go!

I started my vacation in Portugal with an eye infection that kept getting worse. I’m so glad I found this site. It’s so easy to use and was in contact with a doctor by video call within 10 minutes. Dr. Agami was great and sent a prescription to my email. I definitely recommend using this site if you need to see a doctor outside your country. Excellent service!

I didnt know this service was even available but im so glad i found it!!I had a very bad throat infection and was very slow to go to the normal clinics in Yalikavak as they can be so expensive. I had a online appointment within minutes with a english speaking doctor and a prescription sent to my phone ,so just went to my local pharmacy in Yalikavak .Fantastic service...do not hesitate to call them, they are so helpful.

Great experience with prescription
I am from the US and needed a prescription while I was traveling in Italy. The process to schedule an appointment was so easy. The doctor called me exactly at the scheduled time. We went over my symptoms and had a brief discussion. About 15 minutes later the prescription was sent to my email. It was a great experience for me.

while on vacation.is available in many overseas countries and can save the day it is very easy to use and log in, got an appointment in 20 mins. Easy log in for video conference, gave him a short history of my health and symptoms. I was emailed prescription while on the video call. Did not have to print anything, just took my phone to pharmacy, showed to email to the pharmacist, told to come back in 10 mins. done.
Video conference cost me £36, which included a one week free follow up emails, and the antibiotics £10 and Nasal spray £10. All very reasonable for me as in America I pay $700 a month and for every doctors visit I pay $75.

I travelled to Mexico with my two girls on my own from England and that’s daunting enough. My daughtee dnded up with swimmers ear and I needed antibiotics. I knew an onsite dr would cost a fortune I have had to use before in other countries so I went to google and came across this site. Well very easy to use! Very affordable and we got a choice of a few drs. The dr I saw was punctual, prescribed straight away and was lovely. She did a prescription in Spanish and English so that I knew what to do and what my daughter was receiving along with instructions to administer medication. The only issue I had was finding a pharmacy but. Found a pharmacy online that delivered to my resort. I sent over the prescription and bam within a few hrs I had everything I needed. It could have cost me hundreds but this service I have saved in my contacts for future reference and I highly recommend. They turned what could have been a very stressful situation to a very easy going one. Thank you again

I had forgotten important medication.
I had forgotten important medication on holiday in Paris. I was really impressed with the speed of the response and within q10 minutes of my video call a prescription arrived via my email. I have obtained the medication and taken my morning dose after approximately 30 minutes. Very happy.

IMPECCABLE SERVICE! RECCOMEND TO EVERYONE
I have been so blown away by my experience with Doctorsa. I am a New Zealander travelling in Spain and was in need of a new prescription for my medication. I was dreading having to go into my local medical centre in the small town I'm staying in because of the cost and the language barrier. I did some research online, found Doctorsa, and booked an online appointment for 10 minutes later. The doctor I had was awesome - she spoke perfect English and she sent me my prescription straight away. I was a bit nervous going into the pharmacy as I thought they might turn me away, but there were no problems whatsoever. It was so unbelievably fast, efficient and most importantly - EASY! The tech they use is fantastic and it made the customer experience flawless from start to finish. My initial thought when doing my research was that it was all too good to be true, but it's genuinely just a really great service. I could not not recommend it more highly!

Left all my heart medications on a boat
Left all my heart medications on a river cruise boat in germany. Discovered this whilst in vienna. Found doctorsa online, managed to get a booking for the same day. The doctor sent a script to a local chemist and problem solved. This took 2 hours from start to finish and the majority of time was walking to and from thhe chemist!

online doctors service help
Question I'm bit in a hurry to get antibiotics prescribed, therefore looking at online medical service. I found Doctorsa (doctorsa.com). But their online prescription is allowed in pharmacies such as Dr.Max? Has anybody tried the site yet? I'm worried it's a scam or won't work in the pharmacies to get my antibiotics.
update: i got my antibiotics prescribed using the site. Just for clarification: DoctorsInItaly and Doctorsa are same site, i searched for urgent care for travelers in Italy and Doctorsa came up. i guess they have different names to same site. Anyways Thank you for everyone who helped me. i really appreciate it.

I found Doctorsa on a Google search while traveling in Germany. I had a medical situation and wasn't sure what to do. I filled out the form online and Dr Rababah was the first to notify me. We did a video consultation 20 minutes later. The Dr. was friendly, patient, and professional. She sent me a prescription through WhatsApp that I was able to fill at a local pharmacy. Her consultation was reasonably priced, and she messaged me on WhatsApp in case I had any problems fulfilling it or any questions about how to use it. The whole experience was easy, reasonable, quick, and hassle-free. I would totally recommend Doctorsa!

Don’t know where to find an english speaking doctor in Italy? If you just need a quick telehealth appointment or prescription refill, you should use Doctors in Italy! It’s helped me so much while I’ve been living here in Italy and it’s a great way to get antibiotics or prescriptions for things thag aren’t too serious. Of course, if you need serious medical attention, call emergency services or get to a hospital. But for simple health concerns, Doctors in Italy is a great way to speak with an English speaking doctor that same day! #livinginitaly #doctorsinitaly #englishspeakingdoctoritaly #doctorsappointmentitaly #italiandoctorappointment #studyabroaditalytips

An Australian unwell in Bordeaux.
As an Australian travelling through France by bike, I was not sure what to do when I became unwell in Bordeaux. I found Doctorsa online and I could not believe how easy it was. I made an account, made an appointment and half an hour later I was talking to the loveliest doctor online. She sent me a script and I was feeling better by the end of the day! I would 100% recommend Doctorsa to my family and friends travelling around Europe.

This is a great service
This is a great service. I’m in France and at the end of August it can be tough to get a speedy appointment because everyone just has to go on vacation at this time. I had an ear infection and my choice was to drive to a walk in clinic, wait who knows how long, and get a prescription or try Doctorsa. The doctor was courteous and efficient. I have my ear drops and I’m feeling better already.

Whilst on holiday in Crete
Whilst on holiday in Crete, I unfortunately got a kidney infection, which I inadvertently made worse by continuing to exercise and probably not drink enough water. By the time I found Doctorsa I was in a lot of discomfort and knew I needed medical advice quickly. I managed to get an online appointment in 20 mins at reasonable cost and the Doctor was knowledgeable and diagnosed my issue quickly. As well as sending me a prescription 5 minutes after my appointment, the Doctor also sent through an email of advice and suggestions. I picked the prescription up from the local pharmacy 30 minutes later and thankfully started feeling better later that day. A really good service which can be accessed quickly when you need it most. Thank you.

Thoroughly recommended
We were in Valencia, my husband was very unwell and it was a Sunday. I found Doctorsa via Google and decided to try them. I am so glad I did. It was quick, efficient and economical. I chose a same day video consult and time. The doctor was excellent, understanding, professional and reassuring. I was sent a prescription and encouraged to let him know progress, I don’t hesitate to recommend this service.

Travelling in Greece and have a urine infection.. my husband found this link on Google and we thought we’d give it a go..I did try to buy antibiotics but was refused without a script..For me to see a physical doctor I’d have needed to travel around 20km and wait to be seen.Via the website I made an appointment, spoke with a doctor from my accommodation got my E-script sent to me and then a 5 minute walk to the pharmacy and had my medication in my hand in under 50 minutes !! I cannot rate this service enough !!!! €20 for the doctor appointment plus €8.68 for my script…I’m now feeling heaps better and back to enjoying my holidays!

Doctorsa saved our vacation
Doctorsa saved our vacation. Caught a stomach bug with no way to see a doctor in a small town in Northern Ireland. The Doctorsa Dr was thorough and professional, and was able to work with the local pharamacy to get me the right antibiotics. Felt better within just hours. Yay! I would recommend Doctorsa to anyone traveling where they provide help.
