What our users say

Very impressed with Hola Health's, prompt, friendly manner when getting my sick certificate. Very easy to connect with a friendly doctor who treated my situation with respect.

Great service. It was super easy and took less than 15 minutes to get a medical certificate. Way easier than trying to see my GP and also really well priced. I would highly recommend Hola and would definitely use them again in the future.

Sent a request for a medical certificate and less than 5 minutes later it was in my mailbox. Love the quick service and the price was $10 less than going to the pharmacy. I’ll be using this service again if there’s a next time.
