How It Works
Book & Tell Us What You Need
Choose this service, pick an available slot from the live calendar, and complete a short intake form — takes about 2 minutes, no account required.
Consultation With Dr. Maamo
A real consultation (online, face-to-face at the Banilad clinic, or a house visit, depending on what you booked) so Dr. Maamo can properly assess your situation.
Reviewed, Approved & Emailed
Dr. Maamo personally reviews and approves every document before it's issued — usually within a few hours — then it's sent straight to your email.
Whether a medical certificate or fit-to-work clearance is required — and in what format — is usually set by each employer's own HR policy rather than a single blanket rule; Philippine labor law doesn't mandate a certificate for every absence, but most companies require one starting at 1–3 days out. What matters for acceptance is that it comes from a PRC-licensed physician after a real consultation: telemedicine is a recognized form of care delivery under DOH-DILG-PHIC Joint Administrative Order No. 2021-0001, so an online consultation carries the same standing as an in-person one. Government employees should note the Civil Service Commission's Omnibus Rules on Leave specifically require a medical certificate for sick leave exceeding 5 consecutive days. If your employer has a specific format requirement, let us know when booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my employer accept an online medical certificate?
Most employers do — acceptance depends on your company's own HR policy, and what matters is that a PRC-licensed physician issued it after a real consultation, which an online consultation is recognized as under Philippine DOH telemedicine guidelines. If your HR department has a specific format requirement, tell us when you book and we'll do our best to match it.
How long does it take to get my certificate?
Dr. Maamo personally reviews and approves every certificate before it's issued — this usually takes a few hours after your consultation, and you'll receive the signed document by email once approved.
Can I book this if I've already been out sick for a few days?
Yes. Mention your situation in the intake form so Dr. Maamo has the full picture during your consultation — the certificate can reflect the relevant dates as clinically appropriate.
Do I need to come in person, or can this be fully online?
It can be fully online. If Dr. Maamo determines during your consultation that a physical exam is genuinely needed, he'll say so directly and you can book a face-to-face visit or house call instead.
