Real reviews from real people
"I just moved to a more rural area and have not been able to get a PHP appointment. This service saved me when I needed a doctor's note for work, it's fast, easy, but most importantly it's legit! So grateful to have found this!"
"Ok I wasn't sure this was going to work BUT this saved me! I didn't even know this was a THING until my friend mentioned using it when she needed an extra day to recover from surgery. This was quick, easy, totally professional and I wish more people knew about it!"
"Dr Adam was kind enough to extend my note for a day without any charge. His office was also prompt in verifying the note when my boss reached out to him. Overall, a very good experience. Saved me a trip to urgent care."
"SickSlip was fast, easy, and super convenient. Everything worked exactly as expected—definitely a service I'd use again."
"The customer support at SickSlip was nice enough to handle my queries and update my doctor's note after i got the dates mixed up. This service is such a blessing for the working class. Fast. Reliable and affordable."
"SickSlip did a great job with my doctor's note. They were quick, professional, and very detailed. When the pharmacy wasn't able to have my prescription ready on time, I emailed SickSlip to ask about the cost of changing my return-to-work date. They updated my note at no charge, which I really appreciated. Their customer service was excellent, and the whole process was easy. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services."
"Easy, fast, and reliable. Perfect way to get a legit doctors note."
"Straightforward and easy to use. Most importantly, it's a real company offering a real service by real physicians in the U.S. -- not an AI scam from a made-up country."
What makes a doctor’s note legitimate
A note is only as good as what happens when your employer checks it.

How an online doctor’s note actually works
A doctor’s note is a signed statement from a licensed physician documenting that you were medically unable to attend work or school on specific dates. Employers commonly ask for a doctor’s note after two or three consecutive sick days; schools ask when absences need to be excused. What almost nobody tells you: getting one no longer requires an appointment, a waiting room, or a video call.
Getting a doctor’s note online, step by step
You complete a short medical intake from your phone — about five minutes covering your symptoms and the dates you missed. A board-certified physician licensed in your state reviews your case personally. When the review supports it, your signed doctor’s note arrives by email the same day, ready to send to HR or the attendance office. The price is a flat $29.99, and if a note can’t be issued, you receive a full refund — that’s the No Note, No Charge guarantee.
What makes a doctor’s note legitimate
A real doctor’s note carries the physician’s name, signature, and license details, the dates it covers, and a way to verify it. Every SickSlip note includes a QR code your employer can scan to confirm the note is genuine in seconds — and the reviewing physician isn’t anonymous: Dr. Adam Z. Kawalek, MD is board-certified with a publicly verifiable NPI. One thing a legitimate note does not need is your diagnosis. Your employer can require documentation that you were unable to work; your medical details stay private. Our guide on how employers verify doctor’s notes covers exactly what HR can and cannot check.
A doctor’s note for every situation
Most people need a doctor’s note for work without an appointment — a sick day, a migraine, a stomach bug. Parents use a doctor’s note for school to excuse a child’s absence, and students get a doctor’s note for college for missed classes and exams. Amazon associates can get a doctor’s note for Amazon with the DLS forms included. Travelers use a doctor’s note for flight and hotel refunds. And if you were about to sit in a clinic for paperwork, read why you don’t need urgent care for a doctor’s note.
Why not a free template?
Free doctor’s note templates and generators produce a document no clinic stands behind — the moment HR checks the license number or calls to verify, there’s nothing there, and submitting a forged note is a fireable offense almost everywhere. A legitimate online doctor’s note costs less than most copays precisely because it’s the real thing done efficiently: an actual medical practice, an actual physician review, and documentation that holds up when it’s checked. That’s the entire difference — and it’s the one that matters on the day someone checks. More in our physician-written guide to getting a doctor’s note without being seen.
