What our users say

It was great. Not a long wait time 10mins to talk to a Dr. He gave me the script i needed as was over 65 and couldn't access the pharmacy direct. It was a Sunday so no Drs open and needed to get onto my condition pronto so it didn't get any worse. I'd definitely use it again. Fast and effective.

Quick and easy. The Doctor listened and asked appropriate questions and was able to assist me with my matter. the script was send straight away.

I would recommend Hola to everyone, I needed a script for antibiotics, after hours for an infection. I was amazed at the easy process. Within 15 minutes I had a script send to my phone. It was actually cheaper doing this than going to the doctor.
