About
Helping people find the right care, faster
Most health decisions start with a simpler question than “what do I have?” — they start with “where do I go, and who do I see?” dr.clinic exists to answer that question well.
What we do
dr.clinic is an independent, free care-navigation service. We help people choose the right setting for their problem, understand which type of clinician treats it, prepare for appointments, make sense of common tests and numbers, and — when they want it — get matched with suitable clinics.
- Care navigator: a short decision guide for emergency, urgent, telehealth, primary and specialist care.
- Specialist and clinic guides: 34 specialties and 17 clinic types explained in plain language.
- Fifteen free tools: calculators and personal records that run entirely in your browser.
- Health library: sourced guides on choosing care and managing common conditions.
- Clinic matching: a free, consent-based service that connects patients with suitable clinics.
What we are not
We are not a clinic, hospital, insurer or medical provider. We do not diagnose, treat or prescribe, and our content does not replace advice from a qualified professional who knows your situation. In an emergency, always call your local emergency number.
How we are funded
Being clear about money is part of being trustworthy. dr.clinic is funded by:
- Advertising shown by Google AdSense on content pages. Ads are kept off our matching and contact forms.
- Clinic partnerships. Clinics may pay a listing fee or a fee per qualified patient request that a patient has agreed to share. This never changes the price patients pay.
- Sponsorships of tools, hubs, newsletters and contest prizes — always labelled.
- Supporters who choose to contribute voluntarily.
None of these partners can buy, edit or approve our health guides. Read our editorial policy and advertising standards.
Our principles
- Safety first. Emergency warning signs appear wherever a decision could be urgent.
- Plain language. We write for a busy, worried person, not for other experts.
- Show our sources. Every guide lists the public guidance it is built on.
- Privacy by design. Our tools keep your data on your device. We share match requests only with your permission.
- Independence. Money never decides what we recommend.
