Online English speaking doctors

[rob0001]

Does anyone know of an online service that has English speaking doctors available here in Argentina? The key is Online and English speaking. If there is a charge for the service, that's fine of course.

Many online health services can be found in Google under "doctores en linea"
Doctoralia is one of the few online medical services that allows to Filter a GP by Language. Cost range between 25,000 and 40,000 pesos per call.

Thanks Rich for the referral... unfortunately mercado Pago, would be hit or miss...they do not guarantee any speak English...I asked. I will look at the one you suggested

Howdy Rob, IMO, the quality of the doctor is much more important than the language. What I suggest is to first find a doctor that's highly recommended and then hire one of a hundred different interpreters that can help you with the language barrier. It's a small cost for a much more valuable result.

Hi Luke, normally I'd agree with this however my care is managed by a couple of US doctors and I just need a few prescriptions for blood tests and maybe regular prescriptions for meds that I can't get a small pharmacy to fill without one. Online is simple for these things.
I'm not interested in a long term relationship with a doctor here.

Do you pay for a prepaga? Swiss Medical, for example, has an internal virtual consultation request within it's phone application.

Hi, you should look at CareThere. It is quite popular with the English-speaking community here.

I have used Air Doctor before (https://air-dr.com/) and can highly recommend.

Hi Rob, I'm chiming in a bit late, but if you still need to find an on-line English speaking doctor, I use Dr. Pietra Stanicki. I have found her to very helpful, from initial consultation to filling/refilling scripts. Her fees are reasonable, too. She does charge USD $15.00 for a script refill.
