Information for Patients

E Doc covers the patients of the majority of doctors in North East Wicklow, Dun Laoghaire (DL Doc) and South East Dublin (East Doc). If you need medical advice or feel you should see one of our doctors please call 01 22 34 500

How our service operates:

When you first call E Doc on 01 22 34 500 a call-taker will take all your details and then a triage nurse will call you back. The triage nurse will discuss the nature of the medical problem and will decide the best course of action for you to take. This might be simple advice from the nurse, a call from the doctor, or the arrangement of an appointment to see a doctor in one of our centres. In exceptional cases and based on medical need and other factors a home visit will be arranged.

When you call please have your medical card number ready for the call taker and bring your medical card to the centre for verification by our receptionist.

For centre location details please go to the home page or view the centre locations.

When you come to one of our centres the receptionist will confirm your arrival to the doctor.

After the consultation a complete record of the consultation will be forwarded to your own GP to be added to your medical record.

GP consultations in E Doc are free to medical card holders provided that the card is in date, is in the name of the patient attending, and is valid at the time of the consultation.

• The cost of a telephone or video consultation with a GP is €70.00.
