CaribMedical is a Caribbean Doctor’s Directory where medical professionals can register their profile, list their practice and accept requests for online appointments. Patients can find doctors, see their available opening hours and request an appointment instantly online.

No, we do not provide healthcare.  We simply provide a platform by which patients can locate and contact medical professionals.

Requesting in-person appointments on CaribMedical is totally free! Of course, you will have to pay the costs associated with your doctor’s visit when you go to your appointment. If you would like to book a virtual online visit with a doctor you would have to make a payment. The Virtual Booking page will give more details.

Doctors must be licensed nationally, be in good standing with their island’s medical boards, and meet a number of other guidelines in order to list their profile on CaribMedical. This is to ensure that you get the best possible medical experience.

Here is what Wikipedia says: “In 1950, the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS) in London began to offer surgeons a formal status via RCS membership. The title Mister became a badge of honour, and today, in many Commonwealth countries, a qualified doctor who, after at least four years’ training, obtains a surgical qualification (formerly Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, but now also Member of the Royal College of Surgeons or a number of other diplomas) is given the honour of being allowed to revert to calling themselves Mr, Miss, Mrs or Ms in the course of their professional practice, but this time the meaning is different. It is sometimes assumed that the change of title implies consultant status (and some mistakenly think non-surgical consultants are Mr too), but the length of postgraduate medical training outside North America is such that a qualified surgeon may be years away from obtaining such a post: many doctors used to obtain these qualifications in the senior house officer grade, and remain in that grade when they began sub-specialty training. The distinction of Mr (etc.) is also used by surgeons in the Republic of Ireland, Australia, Barbados, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and some other Commonwealth countries. ” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgeon 

So if your surgeon is a Mr or a Miss, that is a good thing!
