Frequently asked questions

Can I get tests for digestive problems?

Yes. Your GP may recommend blood tests or stool tests to help identify causes such as infections, inflammation, food intolerances, or nutrient deficiencies.

Can I get a prescription for acid reflux, IBS, or other issues?

Yes. If appropriate, your GP can issue a private prescription during your appointment.

Do I need to be seen in person?

Many digestive issues can be discussed via a video consultation, but if a physical exam is needed, your GP may recommend an in-clinic appointment.

Can I get help for IBS or indigestion?

Absolutely. DocTap GPs regularly help patients manage IBS, reflux, indigestion, and related symptoms with treatment plans, dietary advice, and referrals if needed.

Can DocTap refer me for further investigations like an endoscopy or colonoscopy?

Yes. If needed, your GP can refer you to a private gastroenterologist or specialist clinic for further testing.
