Verdict
Updoc is highly valued for its speed and convenience in providing medical documentation and basic prescriptions without a clinic visit. However, significant issues exist regarding unintended recurring subscriptions and a lack of responsive customer support to resolve billing disputes. Users should be mindful of payment terms and the difficulty of contacting the company if problems arise.
Simple to use and extremely fast response – I work night shifts on the Weekends, so when I couldn’t make it to my Sunday shift and My regular Drs Surgery and all local surgeries were closed, I couldn’t obtain a Certificate which was demanded from my employer, I found Updoc by chance and had my certificate delivered to both my email and phone, whereas I was able to present this to my Manager on the same night, great speedy service, will use again if needed.
No more long waiting line just to see a doctor. Updoc has many online doctors ready to assist us with whatever we may need and help us understand any medication prescribed to us .. Thank you Updoc
I just needed a simple blood test, i knew what i wanted and the Dr was straight to the piont and easy to talk too, i like to avoid medical centres and the wait times. I was called back within 15mins from my time ordering the request.
I could not access a doctor in my town on a Friday and I found that I needed a prescription for a compounded antibiotic because 2 standard ones given me by the hospital had built up magnesium stearate in my system giving me hot burning pain under my skin. I got a new script from UPDOC Doctor before I finished typing! (No photos available)

Awesome service and I could actually understand what the doctor was saying
Up doc is very helpful too me, thank you for your help
Courtesy, polite and professional. To the point and no wasted time.
Excellent and very timely. Simplen process. Was completed and received in about five minutes
I’m still waiting on video call. It’s still easy to use
No time waiting, the certificate is highly accepted at my work place
My local GP was unavailable to see me today and so I found Updoc doctors on Google after doing a quick search for an online doctor and to my surprise the doctors consultation was quick and it was well priced. I really like the fact that I didn’t have to go into the doctors rooms as well since I’m not feeling well, the consultation was quick and I… Read more
uploaded pictures on the portal for the doctor to review and I was contacted within minutes by a updoc doctor. I’m very happy with the outcome. I was sent a prescription to my phone and was able to collect everything that I needed straight after the appointment online. Very happy with the service they provided and highly recommend to anybody needing an online GP.
Updoc is a quick and easy website accessing online doctors that are able to help you within minutes whether that be a phone call/ text consultation regarding you concerns. Also provides quick medical certificates if you are unable to access doctors appointment in the same day you’ve taken of work or you have no transportation.

Scammers, take money then say they can’t help. Anyone feel the same? Going to go to the Health ombudsman and also looking at going further due to the company adding stress to peoples mental health
Latest follow-ups
Highly not recommended. Too many text messages and emails received from them on a short period of time ( like scam) . Once you’ve entered your personal details , you can’t get out of their system. Impossible to delete your record , despite everything normally possible done and contacted. Kevin W
Follow-up · After I have contacted them, no more pushing texts arrived to me . My personal review was not about their services it was more about their initial AI selling involvement.
Accessible and suitable timing wise – Quick and relatively easy this time. Much quicker and easier to follow second time round.
Follow-up · Still impressed with the convenience of this service but didn't realise I was being charged monthly for the convenience. So i have ended up stopping the payment, therefore I would not be fast tracked, so unsure what waiting times would be.
Subscribed with updoc on July to get medical certificate and everything went well and then I cancelled my subscription at the end of July and then I… Read more
didn't use the app for August and then on October 29th without my knowledge they took money from my card and I didn't resubscribe or used their services so i mailed them and they didn't explain why they took my money even after I cancelled my subscription and they are not ready to refund either. So I disputed the transaction with NAB and they refunded my money back so please be aware pf their scam and then I removed my card details from their app and I cancelled the subscription again(I didn't resubscribe so that was fishy) and I uninstaller the app) and after few hours, I received a message thanks for the subscription so it confused me again.So all updoc users please check whether you are getting charged even after cancelling your subscription
Follow-up · When I disputed thru my bank they refunded my money back within a day.No they didn't charge for anything extra and they refunded my full money back.Yes I received confirmation mail from updoc after few days
Follow-up · I raised a dispute through paypal and I got refunded but I didn't think updoc realised that they charged money from my account as well as from my daughter's account to get a carers certificate for me using my daughter's account

Better Quality of care and time recieved then most Drs. Also no waiting days or weeks to see or talk to a Dr. They Explain everything and give you the time you need to discuss results and any health concerns.
Booking a consultation was very easy and quick. A doctor phoned me very quickly and was excellent. Gave me information and symptoms to watch out for. My prescription arrived via email very quickly as well.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Updoc is an absolute lifesaver! This service is so easy to use on those days when you're feeling more zombie than human and can't get out of bed, can't drive anywhere, or your local GP is booked out. I use it at least once a month, and honestly, the convenience is worth every cent. At $50 a month, it's still half the price of a… Read more
standard GP visit. Even if you only use it once every two months, you're still ahead financially!
The whole process is simple, convenient and takes so much stress out of trying to access medical care when you're already feeling miserable.
I highly recommend Updoc to anyone who wants convenient access to healthcare without having to leave the house. An absolute game-changer when life decides to knock you flat!
Negative reviews
Beware!!! This service sneakily tricks you into a monthly subscription. I had no idea I had a monthly subscription until it appeared on my credit card. When contacting them to find out what this subscription was for, they advised that they had no request from my email account, and would not advise me what this ongoing payment was for or how I… Read more
could unsubscribe from it. I was advised to contact my bank. The result was having to cancel my card to get rid of this - absolutely no assistance provided by the company and the hassle of having to get my card reissued. Avoid this company.
Definetly not good for long term prescription, if this is what you need then avoid. Used them for a script for antiviral, i asked for maximum repeats, they wrote a script with minimal repeats for a medication that is low risk and safe for long term use. Then when i asked for more repeats they gave me a generic response from an admin staff rather… Read more
than doctor and said i needed to book a new appointment and pay the booking fee. Definitely felt like a money grab with poor customer service.

Don't use Updoc, find an alternative. Seriously a waste of time and money. I attempted to use Updoc for a repeat of a script, only to find that the medication the Updoc GP prescribed was no longer available. The pharmacy cannot substitute an alternative without the approval of the Updoc GP. Many attempts on the app to resolve this, but just pathetic platitudes back from "Support". No phone numbers you can call to talk with a human. Avoid

Same as Old T. Phoned in for consultation and got charged for a subscription I didn’t authorise. There is no contact number so that you can discuss the error with a human and the only way forward is to get charged for another consultation. No one will contact you unless you cough up another $59.95. I took the problem to my bank and they hav… Read more
cancelled my card to avoid further charges. Now I have a fight on my hands to recover the $100 they took illegally. Avoid like the plague !!!
Paid $100 for a PCR form for a viral infection. They won't give me the results until I pay then another $100. Every page, every menu, every option leads to a bloody payment page. The ONLY goal of Up Doc is to take your money. They have no interest in helping at all. Beyond disappointed. Stay far far away please
BEWARE! I have been charged $49.95 per month for a subscription that I did not authorise. I provided payment details for an urgently needed drug prescription. My BANK DETAILS HAVE BEEN USED TO CHARGE ME FOR A SUBSCRIPTION THAT I DID NOT AUTHORISE. Payments have been stolen for this subscription for the months of June, July, August and September… Read more
2026. The Updoc website provides no means of contact with the business - no phone number, no email address, no business street address. The website offers only a screen button to request a consultation. I have not used this option because I do not want to risk incurring a further charge for an unwanted consultation.
I request immediate cancellation of the subscription and reimbursement of four payments of $49.95… Read more
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Updoc cannot give prescriptions of any use, only very basic stuff. I paid for a consultation only to be told by the doctor he cannot give me the script I needed. It’s all automated, there is no customer support available. A complete waste of time & money, appalling service.
They still charge you even if you cancel subscription and take off card details from their site. When you contact them they send you a generic email from someone named Monica. Don't risk putting payment details. Thay are a fraudulent site.
Very disappointing experience with Updoc. I uploaded my Mental Health Treatment Plan and was matched with a psychologist through their system. I was clear from the beginning that I could only afford the sessions with the Medicare rebate and specifically discussed this with my psychologist. After several sessions and repeated attempts to get the… Read more
provider number needed to claim Medicare, Updoc eventually told me the psychologist was not Medicare registered with them and claimed I "would have seen this when you booked". I absolutely do not recall this being made clear. Had I known, I would not have booked the sessions in the first place.
There were also unexplained pricing issues, with sessions increasing from $169 to $189 online, plus a promised 30% first-session discount that was never applied.
The frustrating part is that I actually really liked my psychologist and would have continued seeing him. My issue is entirely with Updoc's lack of transparency around Medicare eligibility, pricing and the poor handling of my attempts to resolve it.
For a service dealing with people accessing mental health care, this simply isn't good enough.
subscription trap!!!!! they default you to a subscription, i get charged per month and had to cancel my credit card as there is no easy way to cancel the subscription and the customer support are useless and don't want to help you. IT'S A SCAM do not use this product!
