Reviews from Around the World

This app is a miracle. I’m from Australia and we went on a trip to Italy and contracted a terrible virus. I was extremely unwell and needed to see a doctor asap. As we were in Siena, in a hotel room and on a Sunday, we didn’t have any clue how to get to a doctor. Then my husband discovered Air Doctor and within an hour, I had a video consultation with a GP who was very helpful and calmed my nerves. Keep this app on your phone whenever you travel.

Air-dr.com is incredibly helpful and convenient to use when I am traveling abroad. The few times I have used it I received timely care from highly competent physicians. I may continue to use it when I am back in the U.S., as doctor visits on Air-dr.com are significantly less expensive than doctors in traditional insurance plans.

Easy doc contacting service, fast answer, friendly and competent specialists stated the right diagnoses. Amy issued the recipe for right medicament and my wife is on the way to recover. Unlimited recommendation! Thanks again & regards from Susan & Ralf

Got an house call appointment same day. App is easy to use. Communication about appointment was easy. The doctor who arrive spoke English very well. She was very competent. Took the stress out of being unwell on holiday away!

I used AD during my trip; the process was super easy and smooth. The doctor I saw really cared for me and followed up with me in the days after. I then needed to use their service, even though there was no available doctor to meet in person at the time. However, I reached out to their amazing support team, and they were able to find me a clinic to go to and were even able to sort out the payment for me! Yuval was with me each step, providing quick and top-notch service! Thank you.
