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.
A general medical certificate confirms your consultation and fitness/condition as assessed by a PRC-licensed physician. Telemedicine is a recognized form of care delivery in the Philippines under DOH-DILG-PHIC Joint Administrative Order No. 2021-0001, so a certificate issued after an online consultation carries the same standing as one from an in-person visit. Whether your specific employer, school, or institution requires a certificate at all — and for what duration of absence — is set by their own policy, not a single nationwide rule, so it's worth checking their requirement before booking if you're unsure.

“Booked an online consultation on a Sunday and had my medical certificate emailed the same afternoon. So convenient compared to lining up at a clinic.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an online medical certificate legally valid in the Philippines?
Yes, when issued by a PRC-licensed physician after a genuine consultation — telemedicine is recognized under DOH-DILG-PHIC Joint Administrative Order No. 2021-0001, the same regulatory framework that legitimized remote consultations nationally.
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.
What's the difference between this and the Fit to Work certificate?
This is a standard medical certificate confirming your consultation and condition. The Fit to Work certificate is a bundled add-on specifically for employees returning to duty after being on medical leave — see our Fit to Work service if that's what your employer is asking for.
