English-speaking doctor in Porto
If you live in or are visiting Porto without a Portuguese family doctor, an English-language video consultation is often faster than walking into a private clinic.
Lon Clinic sees adults on video, seven days a week. The price is 39 €, shown before you pay. A Portuguese electronic prescription, when indicated, works at any pharmacy in the country.
This is not the emergency room. Chest pain, trouble breathing, collapse or heavy bleeding: call 112.

- Private walk-in clinics
- Porto private clinics are often English-friendly in the centre, with similar cost and travel friction as Lisbon.
- SNS / public system
- Built around residents with a registered family doctor. As an expat or visitor, your realistic public access point is the emergency room — appropriate for genuine emergencies, not a sore throat at 22:00.
- Online with Lon Clinic
- Stay where you are in Porto. Video, English, 39 €, named doctor, e-prescription if indicated.
Prescriptions and pharmacies
If a medicine is indicated, you receive a Portuguese electronic prescription. Pharmacies in Porto and the rest of the country can dispense it with the SMS or email code.
Repeat prescriptions for stable long-term treatment are a separate 19 € video visit — not a form that renews anything automatically.

39 €
Video consultation with a licensed doctor, about 30 minutes. Electronic prescription included if indicated. No extra fee at checkout.
Book consultationWhen an English-speaking online GP makes sense
- Cystitis, reflux, constipation, a cold, a rash, traveller’s diarrhoea
- Repeat prescription for a stable long-term medicine you already take (19 € renewal)
- You can join a video call from your phone or laptop in or near Porto
- No chest pain, no trouble breathing, no collapse
When to go to the ER in Portugal
- Chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke signs, heavy bleeding, collapse — call 112
- High fever with severe pain, confusion, or vomiting you cannot keep down
- Pregnancy with worrying symptoms
- Porto public hospital emergency rooms for genuine emergencies — not a substitute for a booked video slot if you are unstable.
For a genuine emergency, call 112 or go to a public hospital emergency room (urgência).
FAQ
Do you have an English-speaking doctor for people in Porto?
Yes. Consultations are in English, Spanish or Portuguese. You book online and join by video from wherever you are in Portugal.
How much does it cost?
39 € for a general medicine video consultation (about 30 minutes). Prescription renewal, when appropriate, is 19 €. The price is on the button before you pay.
Is this a replacement for a Portuguese family doctor (médico de família)?
No. It is a private video consultation for people who need care now — expats, digital nomads, visitors — without SNS registration. Ongoing chronic care still belongs with a GP when you have one.
Can you issue a sick note or certificate?
When clinically justified after a video assessment, a medical certificate may be issued. Some employers and sports bodies still require an in-person exam. SNS work leave (baixa) follows public-system rules.
