Consulting in Antibes
Between Nice and Cannes, Antibes combines a fortified old town, one of the largest marinas in the Mediterranean and the seaside resort of Juan-les-Pins. The international yachting community lives here part of the year.
Getting medical care while staying in Antibes
A notable share of the people present are foreign nationals with no link to the local care system — a common situation among passing crews. A teleconsultation offers a first point of contact. In an emergency, call 15 or 112.
When Antibes is busiest
The beach season runs June to August, with the jazz festival in July, while yachting spreads activity from April to October and keeps a winter presence alongside.
English-speaking doctors used to international patients
Consultations are carried out by doctors registered with the French Medical Council (Ordre des Médecins) who practise in France, and experienced in caring for international patients during their stay. Subject to medical availability, an English-speaking doctor can take your consultation, so you can describe your symptoms without a language barrier.
Frequently asked questions
How can I see a doctor in Antibes by teleconsultation?
Create your DotKtor account, submit your request, then access a video consultation with an available doctor. The service is designed to make it easier to reach a doctor during a stay or a trip.
I’m on holiday in Antibes and I don’t feel well: is DotKtor suitable?
Yes. DotKtor lets you request a video medical teleconsultation without having to look for an available doctor's office on site.
Does DotKtor replace emergency services?
No. In the event of a life-threatening emergency, severe faintness, chest pain, breathing difficulty, neurological signs or any worrying situation, call 15 or 112 immediately.
Can I get a prescription?
A prescription can be issued only if the doctor considers it necessary and medically appropriate after the consultation.
Is the consultation available in several languages?
Yes — subject to medical availability, DotKtor can offer doctors who speak French, English, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese.
How much does a consultation cost?
The price is shown before you book: €80 from 8am to 8pm and €100 from 8pm to 8am. Payment is made directly by the patient before the consultation, with no subscription and no hidden fees.
Can I use my prescription in a French pharmacy?
Yes. Consultations are carried out by doctors registered with the French Medical Council (Ordre des Médecins) who practise in France, so a prescription issued during the consultation is valid in any French pharmacy.
Can I claim the consultation on my travel insurance?
A detailed receipt is issued after the consultation, which you can submit to your travel insurance or assistance provider. Reimbursement depends on your own policy.
What is the difference with the emergency services?
DotKtor is a teleconsultation service for common health problems during a stay; it is not an emergency service. In an emergency, or if you have any doubt, contact the local emergency services immediately by calling 15 or 112.
I am crew at Port Vauban — can I consult on board?
Yes, as long as the connection is stable and you have somewhere quiet for the consultation.
I am staying in Juan-les-Pins — does that change anything?
No, the consultation happens by video from your accommodation, whichever district you are in.
In an emergency, call 15 or 112.
DotKtor is not a substitute for the emergency services. In the event of a serious symptom, severe pain, faintness, breathing difficulty or any doubt about an emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
