When a House Visit Makes More Sense Than a Clinic Trip
This article is general health information, not a diagnosis or personal medical advice. Reviewed by Dr. Marlo P. Maamo, General Practitioner. For anything specific to your situation, please book a consultation.
House visits exist for patients who genuinely have trouble getting to a clinic — elderly patients with limited mobility, someone recovering from surgery, a parent managing a sick child alongside other responsibilities, or anyone whose condition makes travel uncomfortable or risky.
During a house visit, Dr. Maamo brings the same clinical assessment tools used in a face-to-face consultation — the exam simply happens in your home instead of a clinic room. This is particularly useful for routine check-ups on homebound elderly patients or post-operative follow-ups.
House visits currently cover Cebu City and start at ₱2,500, with the final price depending on distance and time. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies, describe it when you reach out and we'll confirm availability.
