Can my child have follow-up visits with the same doctor?

Yes, your child can have follow-up visits with the same doctor on DrHouse, as long as that physician is available.

Quick Answer:

  • Follow-up visits are available through the app
  • You can choose the same doctor for your child
  • This depends on the doctor’s availability
  • Each visit is scheduled separately
  • A parent or guardian must attend the visit for minors

How It Works

After your child’s initial consultation, you can schedule a follow-up visit directly in the app. During booking, you’ll have the option to select a physician—this includes choosing the same doctor your child saw previously if they are available.

This is especially helpful for continuity of care, such as reviewing symptoms, adjusting treatment plans, or discussing lab results.

DrHouse allows you to manage family member profiles under one account, so your child’s medical history and visit records remain organized and accessible for future appointments.

What to Expect for Pediatric Visits

For children under 18:

  • A parent or legal guardian must be present during the visit
  • Each appointment is tied to your child’s individual profile
  • The physician will review your child’s medical history and previous visits if applicable

Follow-up visits function the same way as initial visits, with a secure video consultation and physician evaluation.

Limitations to Know

  • Seeing the same doctor is not guaranteed and depends on their schedule and availability
  • If that physician is unavailable, you can choose another qualified doctor on the platform
  • Each follow-up requires booking a new appointment
