FAQs
Do I need to go to a hospital, or can you treat me at home?

Many non-life-threatening conditions can be safely evaluated and treated at home.

If a referral is needed, we guide you through the next steps clearly and calmly.
What types of urgent issues can you treat during a home visit?

We treat a wide range of acute conditions including fever, infections, dehydration, stomach illness, allergic reactions, respiratory symptoms, minor injuries, pain, and general sudden illness. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, you can message us for guidance before booking.
How quickly can a doctor arrive?

We offer same-day and after-hours availability, with priority emergency arrival options available. Response times depend on location and demand, but our goal is always to provide timely, efficient care, especially when you’re feeling unwell and need support quickly.
