Two different Irish online doctor services with similar names. DoxOnCall (this site, doxoncall.ie) and Doxonline (doxonline.ie) are independent services with no connection to each other — no shared ownership, doctors or booking system. Search engines and patients often mix the two names up, so this page sets out what each one publishes about itself, side by side.

Doxonline details were read on doxonline.ie (home, about, consultation, sick leave, certificates and terms pages) on 3 October 2026. Where a Doxonline page shows two different prices, we quote the one on its booking panel. Prices and hours change — check the source site before you rely on them.

Which one suits you?

Doxonline may suit you if…

its "from €20" price covers what you need (check which service it applies to before you book), you need one of its certificates such as a holiday-cancellation, fit-to-cruise or youth-camp certificate, or you want its urgent consultation (€45), where it promises a phone call back within an hour if you email and cannot find an early slot.

DoxOnCall may suit you if…

you want €34.99 for most consultations, published hours of 07:00–23:30 every day, a €24.99 follow-up review, an Illness Benefit certificate at no extra fee, a phone app, or a provider that names its company on every page.

Either works if…

you need a routine same-day video or phone consultation with an IMC-registered doctor, or a sick cert for your employer.

Good to know

Check your doctor's registration. Both services say their doctors are on the Irish Medical Council register. You can check any doctor on the public register at medicalcouncil.ie.
Illness Benefit is not the same as a work sick cert. The Department of Social Protection uses its own certificate, which only a doctor with departmental certification access can file. See the DSP guide.
Overnight care. DoxOnCall is not a 24-hour service. Between 23:30 and 07:00, your regional out-of-hours doctor co-op (D-Doc, NEDOC, ShannonDoc, SouthDoc, CareDoc and others) is the right call — see our home-visit guide for the full directory.
Emergencies. Online care is not for emergencies: chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, signs of stroke or heavy bleeding — call 999 or 112.

Why the brand confusion?

Both names start with "Dox" (a casual abbreviation for "doctor") and both end with a service descriptor — "OnCall" and "Online". For a voice search like "doxonline ireland" or a fast-typed search like "dox online", search engines often surface results for both. We can't change either company's name; the most useful thing we can do is point you at the right one.

Frequently asked

Is DoxOnCall the same company as Doxonline?

No. DoxOnCall (doxoncall.ie) is run by IE HEALTHNOW LIMITED, an Irish company (CRO 805729). Doxonline (doxonline.ie) is a separate service with no connection to us — no shared ownership, doctors or booking system. The names sound alike, which is why search results often mix them up.

Which is cheaper, DoxOnCall or Doxonline?

It depends on what you need. Most DoxOnCall consultations, including a sick note, are €34.99 at any time of day, and a follow-up review is €24.99. Doxonline's home page advertises appointments "from €20"; the prices on its service pages run from €35 to €50.99, with €39.99 for a doctor consultation and €38.99 for a sick leave consultation (checked 3 October 2026). Check which service Doxonline's €20 applies to, and confirm the full price on either site before you book.

Which has longer hours?

DoxOnCall publishes its consultation hours: 07:00–23:30 every day. Doxonline does not publish a timetable — its home page says it is open 7 days a week including evenings, one of its FAQs says "around the clock", and its contact hours are 08:00–18:00. Check its booking calendar for the time you need.

Are both services' doctors registered in Ireland?

Both say so. DoxOnCall's doctors are registered with the Irish Medical Council (IMC), and your treating doctor's name and IMC number appear on every document they issue. Doxonline's website says its doctors are IMC-registered. You can check any doctor on the Medical Council's public register at medicalcouncil.ie.

Can either service give me an Illness Benefit (IB1) certificate?

DoxOnCall can: one of our doctors holds departmental certification access and, where appropriate, files the Illness Benefit certificate for you at no extra fee — allow up to 72 hours once your details reach us. We cannot speak for what other services offer — ask Doxonline directly. See the DSP guide for how Illness Benefit works.

Will my employer accept a sick cert from either?

For statutory sick leave, the Sick Leave Act 2022 asks for a medical certificate signed by a registered medical practitioner — a doctor on the Irish Medical Council register. Both services say their doctors are IMC-registered. Your employer's own sick-leave policy may ask for more, and a work sick cert is not the same as an Illness Benefit certificate (see the question above).

Why does this page exist?

Because "doxonline" and "doxoncall" are easy to mix up, and a straight answer is more useful than search results that bounce you between two sites. If you want Doxonline, the link at the top of this page takes you there.

Is the information on this page reliable?

The DoxOnCall details are ours and we keep them current. Every Doxonline detail was read on doxonline.ie on 3 October 2026 — prices and hours change, so confirm them on its site before you book. If you spot something out of date, email support@doconcall.ie.
