What is an Online Doctor Consultation?
Online doctor consultation is a telehealth service that allows you to connect instantly with a licensed local doctor through video calls.
This service can address many of the same conditions typically treated at traditional healthcare facilities, offering a convenient and efficient alternative for obtaining medical assistance, especially when you’re in an unfamiliar city.
When Should You Visit a Clinic in Greece Instead?
If you have any of these conditions or needs that online urgent care can’t address, it might be best to visit the nearest clinic:
- Minor injuries: sprains, strains, small cuts requiring stitches, minor burns
- X-rays: for minor injuries like sports injuries
- Dental Care: urgent dental care for severe dental pain or dental trauma
- Vaccinations: it’s not uncommon to need vaccinations while traveling from country to country. Very often this service is available in travel clinic but also in some urgent care centers
- Access to medical specialists: very often urgent care centers provide access to pediatric urgent care, orthopedic specialists and ultrasound scan
- Sports physicals: you’re planning to run the marathon in Paris? You will need a medical certificate to confirm you’re in good health and capable of handling the physical demands of a marathon
How Online Virtual Care Can Assist Tourists
Online doctor appointments can be a game-changer for tourists, who often have tight schedules and are unfamiliar with local healthcare options. Platforms like Doctorsa make it incredibly fast and easy to consult with a doctor remotely.
If you encounter minor health issues while traveling, you can quickly connect with a doctor online to receive the medical advice or prescriptions you need, allowing you to stay on track with your travel plans and enjoy a worry-free trip.
Benefits of a Virtual Consultation
- Eliminate Travel Time and Hassle
- Super Fast Response 24/7/365
- Talk to an English-Speaking Doctor
- Ease of Mind and Reduced Stress
- Perfect for Minor Ailments and Forgotten Medication
- Not Suitable for Life Threatening Conditions
Online doctor visits are perfect for travelers with minor health issues, saving you time and hassle while on holiday. No need for transportation or dealing with local clinics. Unlike limited retail clinics, platforms like Doctorsa handle many medical issues. They reduce stress by connecting you with English-speaking doctors, ensuring clear communication and personalized care without language barriers.
Online Doctor Vs. In-person Consultation Vs. Emergency Hospitals
Here’s a general guideline:
- Online Doctors for minor issues that do not require in-person medical care but are still urgent (e.g. sore throat, UTI, flu, etc.)
- In-person Consultations for minor issues that need specialist, same-day, in-person attention but are not life threatening (e.g. urgent care with x-rays, sprains, cuts requiring stitches, etc.)
- Emergency Hospitals for severe, potentially life-threatening problems that need immediate, specialized care (e.g. difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, head injury, etc.)
If you’re unsure, it’s safer to go to the nearest emergency hospital. However, remember that wait times in the emergency room can be long. If you go to the emergency room with a minor issue, you might have to wait for hours because more serious cases will be seen first.
Knowing where to go can make a big difference in getting the right treatment quickly.
Available Virtual Care Services
Online Virtual Visits
Online doctor consultations let you talk about your symptoms, concerns, and medical history with a licensed physician right from your place. These virtual visits give you urgent care and advice tailored to your needs. Whether you have a non-emergency illness, need a medication refill, or want general healthcare advice, online doctors can provide thorough consultations.
Express Prescriptions
Online doctors can, in many cases, give you prescriptions after virtual care. Once you complete your online consultation, you receive a copy of the prescription so you can pick it up at the closest pharmacy. This is especially great for travelers who need quick access to meds while they’re away from their usual doctor.
Follow-up Care on the Go
Unlike emergency rooms, where follow-up isn’t possible, online doctors offer ongoing monitoring and follow-up. With online doctor services, you get continued support and guidance during your treatment or recovery. Doctorsa provides free follow-up chat for 7 days, letting you check in with the same provider who initially evaluated you. This continuity of care ensures your progress is closely monitored, and any necessary adjustments or recommendations are made promptly.

You can use your travel or health insurance to pay for your Doctorsa consultation. It’s pretty straightforward. When you’re ready to check out, you’ll see an option to select your insurance carrier and enter your policy details.
Doctorsa works directly with many insurance providers. But even if your provider isn’t on that list, don’t worry! We’ll spend up to a week trying to arrange direct coverage for you. This means you might not have to pay anything out of pocket.
The cost of your consultation will be temporarily held at checkout. Then, once your insurance provider confirms they’ll cover it, that hold is lifted. It’s our way of making sure you get the care you need without the upfront costs.

The feature to set up a doctor appointment online was so user-friendly. Booking online doctor appointments was straightforward—I just followed a few simple steps and got everything arranged. It felt like I was using an online urgent care service, which was exactly what I needed.

How much does it cost to see a doctor in Greece?
Publicly subsidized doctors in Greece require a small co-pay, but they may have difficulty assisting foreigners, especially due to language barriers. In popular tourist areas, visiting a general doctor as a foreigner can be quite expensive. If you don’t have insurance that covers medical care in Greece, you will likely need to pay out-of-pocket for these services.
If you see an online doctor with Doctorsa, the overall pricing will vary depending on the providers. Each of them competes on every request, bidding a fair price for your specific need. The average cost is 25 Euros for an online doctor visit. In-person appointments, specialists, and lab-work depend on the city. Send a request to find out, there’s no obligation to book and you get to choose your provider.
The visit does not include the cost of medications. For example, in Europe, the cost of an antibiotic treatment ranges from 5 to 15 euros approximately.
Do doctors in Greece speak English?
The EF EPI (English Proficiency Index) is a yearly report that ranks countries and regions by how well their adult populations speak English. Greece is ranked 12nd out of 113 countries, falling into the “High Proficiency” band.
With Doctorsa, you can be confident that you’ll always be seen by an English-speaking doctor in Greece. Many of our doctors also speak additional languages, ensuring clear communication no matter your needs.
Can Greek pharmacists give antibiotics?
You need to get a prescription for antibiotics issued by a medical doctor or a dentist. Pharmacists cannot dispense antibiotics without a script. You can get a prescription without seeing a doctor in person, with Doctorsa. Through an online doctor visit, if necessary, you can receive an express prescription you can fill at the closest pharmacy.
How do I seek emergency medical help in Greece?
In Greece, to get emergency medical assistance, you can dial 166 for direct access to EKAV, the National Centre for Emergency Care, or 112, the pan-European emergency number. When you call, you will be connected to EKAV’s Command and Coordination Centre, which operates nationwide. The operator will ask for details about your location and the nature of the emergency. Based on this information, they will assess the urgency and decide on the appropriate response.
If the situation is critical, an ambulance will be dispatched immediately. These ambulances are equipped with advanced medical equipment and staffed by trained paramedics who can provide life-saving care en route to the hospital. EKAV also coordinates with hospital emergency departments to ensure they are prepared for the patient’s arrival.
In less urgent cases, advice may be provided over the phone, or a non-emergency transport service might be arranged. The system is designed to prioritize resources effectively, ensuring that the most critical cases receive immediate attention. Emergency services are free at the point of use, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, can receive the necessary medical care in an emergency.
Are there online doctors in Greece?
Yes, and you can talk to a doctor online with Doctorsa. An online doctor might be right for you if you are far from your doctor and don’t have time to search for a doctor appointment. An online doctor is perfect for minor but urgent situations or when you need medical assistance during off-hours such as weekends and holidays. An online doctor is not for life-threatening situations.
Are online virtual doctors available on weekends?
Yes, whenever you submit your request it is instantly received by the doctors active at that time. Whether it’s late at night, on a Sunday morning, or on New Year’s Eve, there’s always someone on the other side who’s ready to see you. When you receive an option for an appointment, there’s a person behind it (a doctor) who’s read your request and is willing to assist you.
Can I get antibiotics without seeing a doctor in-person?
Yes, antibiotics can be prescribed during a video consultation with a doctor. Antibiotics in Europe are not available over the counter and pharmacies do not have doctors on site. To buy antibiotics, you’ll need to carry a doctor’s prescription to a pharmacy. For example, the cost of antibiotics typically ranges from 5 to 15 euros.
How Doctorsa protects my health information?
The platform complies with international data protection regulations, including GDPR. When you submit a request on Doctorsa, the content of the request is shared with all available doctors while keeping your data anonymized until you select a provider. Once you’ve chosen a doctor and booked with them, your provided information and contact details will only be shared with them. Doctorsa will never sell your personal information.
Can I use my insurance to pay for the visit?
Yes, it is possible to pay with insurance. During the checkout process, you’ll be prompted to provide your insurance carrier information. Alongside this, you’ll also need to enter your payment details. The consultation cost will be temporarily withheld until our team verifies your coverage with your insurance provider. Once confirmed, the reserved amount will be released. However, if we’re unable to confirm your coverage or if your insurance doesn’t cover the payment, the reserved amount will be charged. In such cases, you’ll promptly receive an invoice, enabling you to claim a refund directly.
