Yes, you can talk by video with a Spanish-speaking doctor for your kids, with or without insurance. With Doctor Matt you connect with Colombian doctors who speak your language to help with your child's minor illnesses, from your phone or computer, no app download needed. The visit costs a flat $88 USD, one-time payment, no membership, and we see patients with or without insurance. We see children from about 1 to 2 years old onward. You can book your video visit online here.
Let's be upfront about what this service is and isn't: it's a video visit with a Spanish-speaking doctor, not a physical clinic in your city, and not doctors licensed in any US state. It's real guidance, in your own language, to help you care for your child at home when the issue is minor, and honest advice about when your child truly needs to be seen in person.
What we help with in children
The video visit is designed for common, minor complaints of childhood, the kind that can often be managed at home with a doctor's guidance:
- Mild fever: when to worry, how to bring it down, and what to watch for.
- Cold and flu symptoms: congestion, runny nose, general discomfort, and home care.
- Cough: common cold-related cough and which breathing signs need closer attention.
- Mild stomach upset and vomiting: hydration tips and how to avoid dehydration.
- Earache: guidance, and when it may need an in-person exam or antibiotic.
- Mild rashes: common skin irritations and minor breakouts.
- General parenting health questions: everyday symptoms, home care, and when to seek further care.
We do not handle emergencies or serious conditions. If your child's case needs an in-person exam, the doctor will tell you clearly.
How the video visit works
The process is simple and takes just a few minutes:
- Pay online: a single flat payment of $88 USD through the secure Bold platform.
- Pick a date and time: the calendar shows available slots in your own time zone.
- Connect by video: join from your phone or computer, no app to install. Keep your child nearby so the doctor can see them.
- Get your care plan: the doctor evaluates the case, gives you clear recommendations, and tells you if in-person care is needed.
We're available every day, including weekends, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Colombia time, GMT-5). Video care reaches the entire United States: this is telemedicine, so the doctor is not physically in your city. You connect with them from wherever you are.
What age range?
Doctor Matt sees children from about 1 to 2 years old onward. We do not see newborns or infants younger than about 1 to 2 years by video. A young infant can worsen very quickly and needs to be examined in person; that's why, for them (or for any serious symptom at any age), the right call is in-person or emergency room care, not a video visit. We'd rather tell you honestly than promise something that isn't safe for your child.
Over-the-counter (OTC) medications
When the case is minor, the doctor may recommend over-the-counter (OTC) medications you can find at pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart, and walk you through how to care for your child at home. Three safety rules never change:
- The doctor determines medication and dosage based on your child's weight and age. Never calculate a dose on your own, and never give a child an adult medicine "in a smaller amount."
- Aspirin is never given to a child, because of the risk of Reye's syndrome, a serious complication.
- Many over-the-counter cold and cough medicines are NOT recommended for children younger than about 4 to 6 years. That's why it's important to confirm with the doctor before giving any syrup or cold medicine.
We want to be honest: we do not promise prescriptions for controlled substances or prescriptions valid at US pharmacies. If your child needs an antibiotic (for example, a bacterial ear infection) or in-person care, the doctor will tell you clearly what the next step should be.
Why a doctor who speaks your language matters
Explaining a child's symptoms in a language you don't fully command can lead to misunderstandings and the wrong decisions. A Spanish-speaking children's doctor understands not just your words, but your context: how you describe a "cold," what you've already given your child, and what worries you. That trust makes the guidance more accurate, more human, and more useful for your child's health.
- Difficulty breathing or very fast breathing.
- Blue or purple lips or skin.
- Signs of dehydration: no wet diaper for 6 to 8 hours, crying without tears, dry mouth, sunken eyes.
- Lethargy, extreme drowsiness, or not waking up well.
- A seizure.
- A stiff neck.
- A rash of small red or purple spots (petechiae) that doesn't fade when you press on it.
- Fever in an infant under 3 months old.
- Severe pain that won't let up.
