How Much is a Doctor’s Consultation at Clicks?

When you need to see a doctor, convenience and affordability are key factors. Clicks Pharmacy has made healthcare more accessible by offering doctor consultations through their Udok service, right within the pharmacy. This system provides an easy way for patients to see a healthcare professional without the hassle of traveling to multiple locations. Here’s what you need to know about the cost and the services available at Clicks Clinics.

Cost of Doctor’s Consultation:

As of 2024, the price for a general doctor consultation at a Clicks Clinic is R375 (around $20). This consultation happens through Udok, a telemedicine service that connects patients to a South African doctor via video call. This cost covers a consultation with a general practitioner, who can diagnose medical conditions, write prescriptions, and even issue a sick note. For more specialized care, referrals can be made, but the basic services remain highly affordable. Compared to traditional private doctor visits, this service is said to be 40% cheaper than average fees elsewhere​(

Nurse and Doctor Collaboration:

At Clicks Clinics, nurses handle most of the in-person procedures like checking vitals, but when a diagnosis or prescription is required, a nurse will assist the patient with the Udok doctor’s virtual consultation. This system ensures that patients have access to medical advice and prescriptions without needing to leave the pharmacy, making it incredibly convenient.

For specialist consultations, or if additional services like diagnostic tests or further laboratory work are required, the costs may rise. For example, consultations with specialists can cost up to R600 ($32), depending on the nature of the service​(

Online Options & Home Consultations:

If you can’t make it to a physical location, Clicks Clinics also offer telehealth services where you can have a virtual consultation from your home. The prices remain largely the same whether you’re in the clinic or at home, but the convenience of online consultations can save you time and travel expenses.

In summary, Clicks Clinic offers highly affordable doctor consultations at a starting rate of R375 for general consultations. These services are competitively priced and provide added convenience for patients across South Africa.
