Online Doctor on Puerto Rico's Northwest Coast: Hatillo, Camuy and Quebradillas

Hatillo, Camuy and Quebradillas have no hospital, and no pharmacy counter here is open at night. All three towns are more than 35 miles in a straight line from the nearest 24-hour counter, in Ponce. So it pays to know where to go before you need it:

For a cold, a urinary infection, a rash or a refill, a video visit happens from home: no drive along Route 2, no parking, and you skip the waiting room. Prices shown before you pay: doctor visit US$79, follow-up or refill US$49, forms US$35. For problems that are not emergencies. In an emergency, call 911.

Dr. Diana Nieves Castro, MD, is a general practice physician licensed in Puerto Rico, with several years of emergency-department experience. She sees adults and children of all ages, in English or Spanish: she evaluates, diagnoses and treats, and if needed gives you a lab order for a lab near you. If appropriate, the doctor prescribes and we send your prescription to your pharmacy. We do not prescribe controlled substances. With local counters closing at 6 or 7 p.m., an evening visit means you can pick up a prescription the next day without an extra trip.

We send you a secure video link; it works on your phone, tablet or computer. Anyone under 21 needs a parent or legal guardian on the video, with photo ID. Your card is charged when you request the visit (Apple Pay or Google Pay if they appear on the payment page), with a full refund if it can't happen. A doctor's note after the visit is included; for a school or job form, see forms, US$35.
