The nearest doctor is rarely the quickest one to see. By video, Dr Kevin Navarro Gera is as close as your phone wherever you are in Malta or Gozo. The clinic itself is inside Potter's Pharmacy in Paceville, for anyone in St Julian's, Sliema or Swieqi.
If you are close to Paceville
The clinic is on 39 Triq il-Wilga, a few minutes on foot from the Paceville square. Appointments in person are booked through the same app or website as a video call.
If you are anywhere else
A video consultation works the same from Mellieħa as from next door, and the medicine can come from the pharmacy nearest you.
The €25 is paid at the counter of Potter's Pharmacy in Paceville: nothing is taken during the call. A prescription opens on your phone once the fee has been paid there, and any licensed pharmacy can then dispense it.
How a consultation works
- Open the app or the website and give your name and email once. There is no password to remember.
- Say in a line or two what is wrong. A photo often helps — a rash, a swelling, a test result.
- Call. Dr Kevin Navarro Gera answers within minutes when he is free; otherwise you wait in line and your phone rings at your turn.
- Anything he writes up afterwards reaches you in the app and by email, usually within minutes.
- The €25 is settled at Potter's Pharmacy when you collect. Nothing is taken from a card during the call.
What a consultation can cover
The same things a GP sees in a morning: a chest or urine infection, a rash, a migraine, food poisoning, an ear that will not clear, a repeat of something you already take.
Where the assessment supports it, the doctor writes a prescription, and any licensed Maltese pharmacy dispenses it. Where a consultation shows that someone is unfit for work or for an activity, he puts that in writing too. Both are clinical judgements reached during the consultation.
A screen is not enough for everything. A wound that needs stitching, a suspected fracture, chest pain, anything needing hands or equipment — the doctor says so during the call and sends you where you need to go.
