Talk to a doctor online in Nigeria, from wherever you are.
No queue, no waiting room, no fuel wasted in traffic. Just you and a doctor who listens, explains things plainly, and tells you exactly what to do next.
- Chat with a doctor on WhatsApp, or talk on a call. Your choice.
- Private and confidential. What you say stays between you and your doctor.
- You get a confirmation call within 4 hours of booking.
Please note: this is not for emergencies. Only book if your issue can safely wait three days or more.
You already know how this usually goes
Something feels off. You are not sure if it is serious. And getting a straight answer from a doctor turns into a whole day's project.
- You spend half the day at the hospital, then get maybe six minutes with a doctor who is already rushing to the next patient.
- You describe your symptoms to Google at 1am, and end up more frightened than when you started.
- You walk into a pharmacy, explain how you feel, and go home with drugs nobody actually checked were right for you.
There is a simpler way. Book a session, get a real doctor's full attention, and leave the conversation knowing what is going on and what to do about it.
Book your consultationWhat we can sort out together
Here is what an online doctor consultation in Nigeria can realistically cover. If your issue is on this list, you are in the right place.
Everyday illnesses
Malaria, typhoid, catarrh, cough, body pain, rashes, stomach upset and all the small things that refuse to go away.
Long-term conditions
Living with hypertension, diabetes, asthma or ulcer? Let's keep your numbers steady and your treatment on track.
Medication reviews
Bring every drug you are taking. We will check what is helping, what is clashing, and what you honestly do not need.
Lab and scan results
Send your results before the session and get them explained in plain English, without the panic or the guesswork.
Mental health support
Stress, low mood, anxiety, sleep that will not come. A calm, judgement-free space to talk it through and get direction.
Advice for parents
Fever at night, feeding worries, rashes, immunisation questions. Ask before you panic, and know when to head to hospital.
Weight and lifestyle
A realistic plan built around Nigerian food, your work hours and your budget. No crash diets, no imported nonsense.
Sexual and reproductive health
Contraception, fertility questions, infections, irregular periods. Ask the things you would rather not say out loud.
Second opinions
Told you need surgery or a heavy treatment? Talk it over with another doctor before you commit to anything.
Not on the list? Still reach out. Any non-specialist matter that can genuinely be assessed, reviewed or guided remotely is welcome, and general medical advice and counselling is always part of the session. If your case truly needs to be seen in person, you will be told plainly and pointed in the right direction.
Please read this before you book
Online care has real limits, and pretending otherwise puts people in danger. So here is the honest line.
This practice does not handle emergencies. Not any of them, at any time.
If any of the following is happening, stop reading and get to the nearest hospital or call for emergency help right now:
- Chest pain, trouble breathing or a racing heart
- Heavy bleeding, a bad accident, burns or a deep injury
- Fainting, seizures, confusion, a sudden weakness on one side or slurred speech
- Severe abdominal pain, non-stop vomiting, or a very sick child or baby
- Any pregnancy worry such as bleeding, severe pain or reduced baby movement
- Thoughts of harming yourself, or a mental health crisis happening right now
The same applies to anything that needs hands-on care: a physical examination, stitches, a drip, surgery, admission, or a specialist procedure. Those belong in a hospital, not on a screen.
The three-day rule
Only book a session if your complaint can safely wait at least three days.
That is the simple test. If waiting three days would be risky for you, this is not the right place, and you should be seen physically today.
To be clear, this does not mean you will wait three days to be attended to. Most people get their confirmation call within four hours and are seen far sooner than that. The three-day rule is just a safety check, so that nobody who needs urgent hands-on care ends up waiting behind a screen.

What patients say
Real sessions, real people, names shortened for privacy.
I had been managing my BP anyhow for two years. One session and I finally understood what the numbers meant and why my drugs kept changing. My readings have been steady since.
My son had a fever at night and I was ready to rush out. Doctor calmed me down, told me exactly what to watch for, and what would mean hospital. He was fine by morning.
I sent my lab results and expected a rushed reply. Instead he went through each line with me. First time a doctor has explained anything to me properly.
Questions people ask
Can I really talk to a doctor online in Nigeria without visiting a hospital?
Yes, for a good number of issues. Everyday illnesses, long-term condition check-ins, medication reviews, results interpretation and general advice are handled well online. Anything that needs to be touched, examined or treated physically still has to happen in a hospital, and you will be told plainly if that is your situation.
Can I chat with a doctor on WhatsApp instead of talking on a call?
You can. Some people prefer to type, especially for private matters. Others prefer to hear a voice. Let us know which you prefer when you fill the booking form, and the session will run that way.
How soon will I be attended to?
You get a call within 4 hours of booking to confirm your appointment and settle on a time. Same-day sessions happen often. The three-day rule is only there to keep emergencies out, not because you will be kept waiting.
What if my case turns out to be too serious for an online session?
You will be told straight away, no going round in circles. You will also get clear direction on where to go and what to say when you get there. That, in itself, saves a lot of people time and money.
Can I get a prescription?
Where it is safe and appropriate, yes. Some conditions can be treated based on your history alone. Others need tests or an in-person examination first, and in those cases you will be guided on what to do rather than handed drugs blindly.
Is what I say kept private?
Completely. Your consultation is confidential, the same way it would be in any doctor's consulting room.
I live outside Lagos. Does that matter?
Not at all. An online doctor consultation in Nigeria works the same whether you are in Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt, a small town, or abroad and worried about a family member back home.
How do I pay?
Payment happens first, on the secure payment page you land on when you tap any booking button. Once it goes through, your booking link shows up immediately and you fill the short form to confirm your appointment.
Stop guessing. Talk to a doctor today.
You have carried that worry long enough. Book a session with Dr. Abass Toriola, get real answers, and finally know what to do next.
