Doctis for iPhone

Service snapshot

Doctis is an online medical consultation platform giving users access to about 1,600 clinicians around the clock. The service is available through the Internet on an iPhone and lets patients connect with doctors via text chat, phone call or video appointment.

How to connect

• Use your iPhone and an Internet connection to reach the platform.
• Choose between instant chat/call/video contact or a scheduled video visit with a specialist.

Types of consultations and cost

Doctis provides two main ways to consult:

• Booked specialist visits (these are paid appointments for consultations with a chosen expert).
• On-duty emergency consultations (free short consultations with available doctors, covering areas such as therapy, gynecology and pediatrics).

Who you can speak with

Available clinicians include general practitioners plus specialists such as therapists, gynecologists and pediatricians. The roster of providers is extensive, so you can usually find a clinician for common and some specialized concerns.

Situations where online visits are useful

• Need immediate advice outside normal clinic hours (urgent care when offices are closed).
• Want help understanding or interpreting lab results without leaving home.
• Prefer discretion for personal or delicate medical questions.
• Looking for a second clinical opinion before deciding on treatment.
• Cannot find a local specialist and need remote access to expertise.
• Have a tight schedule and require a convenient remote appointment.

Alternative option — Pedi Help (free)

For pediatric concerns, a recommended free alternative listed is Pedi Help. It can be useful for parents seeking no-cost guidance for children, though features and availability may differ from Doctis.
