Find your doctor online in Spain

Yes. You can consult a doctor online while staying in Spain, whether you are a resident, tourist, student, or expat. Online consultations are commonly used for private medical care and do not require registration with the public healthcare system.

Doctors assess each case individually and decide whether an online consultation is appropriate based on your symptoms and medical information.

Online doctors are commonly consulted for everyday health concerns such as colds and infections, allergies, skin conditions, digestive issues, women’s health questions, mental health concerns, and follow-ups for ongoing conditions.

Online care is not suitable for emergencies or life-threatening symptoms. If you experience severe chest pain, breathing difficulties, neurological symptoms, or other urgent conditions, you should seek in-person emergency care in Spain.

On Oladoctor, online consultations are available with doctors from different specialties, including general practitioners and family doctors, paediatricians, mental health specialists, women’s health doctors, and others, depending on availability.

If you are unsure which doctor to choose, it is usually best to start with a general practitioner or family doctor, who can assess your situation and advise on next steps if specialist care is needed.

A doctor may issue a prescription or medical certificate after an online consultation if it is clinically appropriate and allowed based on the information available during the assessment. This decision is always made by the doctor and depends on your specific situation.

Not all medical requests can be handled remotely, and not every consultation results in a prescription or certificate. The doctor will explain what is possible and what alternatives may be required in Spain.

Availability depends on each doctor’s schedule, but many offer same-day or next-day appointments. Online consultations are often used when timely access to a doctor is needed without visiting a clinic in person.

Some services may be suitable for written or express consultations, while others require a video consultation for a proper medical assessment.

Prices are shown before booking and vary depending on the doctor and type of service. You can compare options in the catalogue and choose based on your needs and budget.

Health insurance is not required. You pay directly for the consultation, and you may request a receipt after the visit for your records or possible reimbursement, depending on your insurance policy.
