Sliema is the next town along the coast from the clinic in Paceville, and closer still by video. Dr Kevin Navarro Gera is on screen within minutes from 8am to midnight, whether you are on the Strand, at Tigné or at home.
From Sliema to the clinic
The clinic is inside Potter's Pharmacy on 39 Triq il-Wilga in Paceville: a short bus or taxi ride from the Ferries. Most people in Sliema never need to make it, because the consultation itself is by video.
Visits in person are by appointment, for when the doctor needs to examine you.
Collecting what he prescribes
The €25 is paid at the counter of Potter's Pharmacy, and most Sliema patients collect their medicine there at the same time. Once the fee is paid the prescription opens on your phone, and any licensed Maltese pharmacy can 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.
