Quick and sensible for a straightforward problem like a sinus infection. The booking took about two minutes and the doctor was on the call inside the hour I'd been told. Prescription went to my usual chemist the same afternoon.
Read moreI signed up because I needed antibiotics and couldn't get a GP appointment for a week. The consultation itself was fine and the doctor was sensible. The bit that dragged was waiting nearly two days for the prescription to reach the pharmacy, which felt slow when I was feeling rough.
Read moreOf the three online GP-style services i looked at this one had the earliest appointment, and the difference was about four days. The booking itself took a couple of minutes on my phone, the confirmation email came straight away, and the doctor rang on time. I'd not been sure whether a video consult would be any use for a chest infection but it sorted me out with antibiotics the same afternoon.
Read moreI compared three services before picking this one and it was the cheapest for the consultation I needed. The booking took a bit longer than the others because the form was long, but the appointment itself was quick and easy.
The app is the thing I'd point to first, it's laid out properly and I can see all my past consultations in one place. I did have to wait a bit for a reply on a message I sent, about a day, but the actual appointment was fine.
I looked at a couple of other services and this one was the easiest to understand on the site. The sign up asked more questions than I'd have liked but the doctor was on time and the prescription went to my usual pharmacy the same day.
I needed a repeat for my cholesterol tablets and wasn't sure how the process worked at first. Once I'd got through the sign up it was all sorted, though I did have to phone them once to check something.
I got my prescription for an ear infection through the site and the tablets arrived at the pharmacy the next morning. The consultation fee was a bit higher than I expected, though, compared with what I'd have paid at a private clinic down the road. Still good value for a Sunday evening.
I've been ordering my repeat prescription through them for about two years now, mostly for my blood pressure tablets. Signing up was painless and the prescription has turned up at the pharmacy every month without fail. The one thing I'd mention is the price of the delivery fee, which is a bit more than I'd like, but the convenience makes up for it.
