Do I need to book an appointment or can I just walk-in?

If you'd prefer, feel free to just walk-in. If you do know when you'd like an appointment, it is best to book to minimise your waiting time.

How long is an appointment?

An appointment with the doctor is usually 15-30 minutes. If you already know what tests or medicines you would like, you can proceed straight to see a nurse. Testing or treatment is provided straight after the initial consultation - in general, your visit should be less than an hour. Medical certificate services are quick and can be done in 10 minutes.

Do I need to speak a doctor before testing or treatment?

If you already know what tests or treatment you would like, there is no need to speak to a doctor beforehand. You can proceed straight to see our nurse for almost all tests and most treatments. Simply tick off what tests you would like or select a health check-up package.

How will I receive my test results? And when I receive them?

Test results are sent to you by email, unless specify another communication method preference. In general, most results should be sent to you within 2 days. Some tests do take longer (1 week or more), but we try to let you know if this will be the case. If you're still awaiting results after 1 week, please do get in contact with us by email.

Can I have medicine delivered to me without a prescription?

Yes, we are able to do this. Our doctor will quickly review the medicine requested (prescription fee of 300 Baht is added) and we'll let you know as soon as your medicine is ready for collection or out for delivery to you.
