What patients say on Google
“Dr Lakshmi Kumar is an excellent Dr. She is incredibly thorough and reassuring in every dealing I have with her.”
“Really quick service and great advice from the doctor's with a friendly welcoming staff”
“My appointment with Dr. Kumar was very helpful. The entire process from making an appointment to seeing the doctor was seamless and hassle-free. Satisfied with the treatment and support”
“I had an appointment with Dr Fehmi yesterday and found her to be kind, thorough and very efficient. I felt like she really listened to my concerns. Would highly recommend.”
“Amazing service. The receptionist was so nice and welcoming. I saw Dr. Jallal Arshad, he was very kind and patient. After a week of horrible reactions and seeing a different GP, Dr Arshad made my skin condition better within 24 hours.”
“Clean quiet professional and friendly. Managed to get an appointment within 18 hours. Cant recommend enough”
“Dr Nitin Mehra takes a truly holistic approach to patient care, which is exactly how medicine should be practised. Even when an issue falls outside his main specialty, he has still been able to assess the situation properly, provide treatment where appropriate, and make timely referrals when needed. I really appreciate that. As a patient it is easy to feel lost in the medical system and to make mistakes about what is actually good or bad for your own health. Dr Mehra consistently redirects you with clear knowledge towards what genuinely helps. That kind of guidance is invaluable. In a system that feels completely collapsed, where for a long time the only option has been telephone appointments with no possibility of proper examination (no palpation, no auscultation, nothing), having a doctor who still shows genuine interest in the patient’s overall wellbeing makes a real difference. When you are in a situation like mine, money loses its value. What truly matters is feeling better, both physically and mentally. Dr Mehra understands that. Personally, I Highly recommended. Thank you for your dedication and professionalism. 🙏”
“Excellent experience with Dr Lakshmi Kumar. She's attentive, explains everything clearly, and truly cares about her patients. One of the best GPs I've come across - highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful for this service! We were seen within 90 mins of booking and the GP we saw so was kind and thorough. They have a lab and pharmacy on-site and were able to give us everything we needed to get on our way. Definitely recommend for anyone but especially for travellers needing quick help (without NHS info or a UK phone number). Thank you!”
“Excellent doctors & engaged receptionists. Quick to identify the issue and act on it, adjusting the treatment plan promptly when needed. Attentive and thorough throughout. Highly recommend.”
“Great experience with everyone I was in contact with.Very informative and prompt.I even got a discount!Thank you so much.”
“Dr Okafore was very helpful and so was Esther helping me locate the clinic great team great experience”

FAQ - Our Services
- Can I use DocTap's online GP service anywhere in the UK?
Yes. You can book an online GP consultation from anywhere in the UK. If you need an examination, test or in-person follow-up, your care can continue at a DocTap London clinic.
- What kind of issues can I address online?
Many common concerns can be assessed online, including minor illnesses, chronic conditions, sexual health, repeat prescriptions, referrals, letters and general advice. For mental health concerns, please book a dedicated mental health appointment instead; it gives you more time with a GP who has the right experience.
- How do I book a video consultation?
Book your appointments conveniently online via the DocTap website. Live availability, including last-minute and same-day slots, can be viewed on our booking page.
- What if I need blood tests, scans or further diagnostics?
Your GP can arrange tests and scans during your video consultation, and advise you on next steps. If needed you may be asked to attend an in-person appointment, but follow‑up care can often remain online.
- Can an online GP prescribe antibiotics?
Yes, but only when the GP can assess the problem safely and believes an antibiotic is clinically appropriate. Some straightforward infections may be suitable for remote assessment. Symptoms that need an examination, a urine or swab test, or urgent observations may require an in-person appointment or urgent care instead. Antibiotics do not treat viral infections, and an appointment never guarantees a prescription. If prescribed, DocTap can issue an e-prescription at no extra DocTap fee; the pharmacy charges separately for the medicine.
- Can an online GP prescribe medication?
A GP can prescribe medication after assessing you, if it is clinically appropriate. Some medicines cannot be prescribed online, and an appointment does not guarantee a prescription. Any pharmacy charge for the medicine is separate.
- What happens if I need a physical examination?
If your GP thinks you need an examination, observations or tests, they will explain the safest next step. This may include arranging an in-person appointment. Seek urgent care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.
- Who are the doctors?
All of our experienced GPs are registered with the UK General Medical Council (GMC) and have received training in the UK. For a complete list of our doctors, please visit our ‘Clinicians’ page.
FAQ - Booking and Accessing Your Online Consultation
- Do I need to download an app for my online GP appointment?
No. You can join your appointment by video or voice in your web browser, so there is no app to download.
- How do I join a video consultation?
When you log into your DocTap portal, your upcoming appointment will appear on the main screen with a ‘Join’ button. Please click this button and wait for the doctor to join the call.
- Same-day online GP appointment availability
Same-day appointments are available when slots are open. Check the live booking calendar to see available times and choose the appointment that suits you.
- I have been waiting but the doctor has not joined the call. What should I do?
Occasionally, the doctor may be delayed in joining your video consultation. If this happens, please remain on the call - they will join as soon as possible. Alternatively, the doctor will try to reach you on your provided contact number.
- What do I do if my video consultation is not connecting?
If you encounter any technical issues when joining a video call, please contact our support team on 020 7183 3254, and a member of our team will be happy to assist you.
- How will I receive my prescription following a video appointment?
You'll receive an SMS from SignatureRX with a code to collect your prescription from eligible pharmacies. Most pharmacies dispense SignatureRX prescriptions.
FAQ - Pricing and Limitations
- Can an online GP issue a sick note?
A GP can issue a sick note after assessing you if it is clinically appropriate. A note is not guaranteed and depends on your circumstances. Sick notes issued during your appointment are included in the appointment price.
- How much does it cost to see a private GP in the UK?
DocTap GP appointments start from £55 online and £75 in clinic. The final cost depends on the appointment type, length and day; tests, scans and medicines may cost extra. Prescriptions and medical letters issued during the appointment are included. See our GP services and prices pages for current options and fees.
- How much does an online GP appointment cost?
Online appointments are from £55, with subsequent follow-up appointments offered at a reduced rate, from £30. The cost also includes e-prescriptions and medical letters.
- Can I get a medical letter in a video consultation?
Some letters can be issued after a video consultation if the GP can assess your needs remotely. Fit-to-Fly, Fit-to-Work and sports certificates usually require a physical examination, so please book a clinic appointment for these instead.
- Can I get controlled medications prescribed from a video appointment?
DocTap GPs cannot prescribe controlled or potentially addictive medicines (such as diazepam) during a video appointment. Please book a clinic appointment instead. Prescribing remains at the clinician’s discretion. You can contact our admin team before booking to check whether we can meet your needs.
