Doctor Services in IT Park (Lahug)

IT Park sits inside Lahug, a few minutes from our Banilad clinic, and it has a patient profile that's a little different from the rest of Metro Cebu: mostly BPO and tech employees working rotating or graveyard shifts, often needing a medical certificate or fit-to-work clearance fast, and rarely able to wait in a walk-in queue during business hours.

Online consultations were built with exactly this schedule in mind. At ₱350, a video or phone consultation with Dr. Marlo P. Maamo can happen at 3 a.m. after a shift ends or during a break window, without needing to request unpaid leave just to sit in a waiting room. If HR requires a fit-to-work certificate before you're cleared to return after being sick, that's an add-on to the medical certificate service, and both go through the same doctor-review step before they're issued — a real signature, not an automated stamp.

For IT Park-based employees who do need to be examined in person — a persistent cough that needs a stethoscope, a rash that's hard to describe over video — a face-to-face visit at the Banilad clinic is a short trip, ₱600, and can usually be booked same-day or next-day depending on the live slot calendar. House calls are also available from ₱2,500 for anyone whose condition or schedule makes even that short trip difficult, though most IT Park patients find the online or face-to-face route more practical given how close the clinic already is.

Shift work brings its own health patterns worth flagging: disrupted sleep, inconsistent meals, and higher reported stress and burnout among BPO and call center staff generally. If that sounds familiar, our article on workplace mental health — recognizing and preventing burnout — was written with exactly this kind of schedule in mind, and it's a genuinely useful read even outside of a specific appointment. For anyone newer to the idea of seeing a doctor online at all, our step-by-step walkthrough of a first online visit covers what to expect from booking through to receiving your document by email, so there are no surprises the first time.

IT Park patients often also work with or live near colleagues in neighboring Lahug proper, Mabolo, or the upland Busay area — all covered the same way, with online, face-to-face, and house-call options genuinely available given the short distance to Banilad. If your team is scattered across a few of these areas, everyone can book independently through the same system rather than needing to coordinate a single group visit.

Common requests from this area include medical certificates for a single sick day, SSS sickness certificates for longer medical leave, prescription refills for maintenance medication without needing a full new consultation each time, and occasionally travel certificates for employees flying out for training or company events. All of these are handled as their own service on the booking page, each with its own price, so there's no need to guess what a visit will cost before you book.

Discretion matters to a lot of IT Park patients, particularly around anything sensitive — a mental health concern, a sexual health question, or simply not wanting a workplace clinic to know the specifics of why they're taking leave. An online consultation booked independently through this platform, on a personal device rather than a shared workplace computer, keeps that conversation between you and Dr. Maamo; nothing is shared with an employer beyond whatever document you choose to submit yourself. If ongoing stress or burnout is part of what's driving a visit rather than a single acute symptom, it's worth saying so plainly during the intake — Dr. Maamo can factor that into the consultation rather than only addressing the physical symptom in front of it.

The intake process is short — a few questions about your symptoms and history, either the adult or pediatric version depending on who the visit is for — and doesn't require setting up a patient account. Once booked, you'll get an email confirmation, and any document issued afterward arrives the same way, ready to submit to HR or wherever it's needed.

To understand Dr. Maamo's credentials and how the practice operates day to day, the About page has his PRC license details and background. And if you're deciding between an online visit and coming in, our comparison guide on which consultation type you actually need is worth reading before you book.
