We are powered by the Ontario Telemedicine Network. To begin, request a secure conversation with one of our doctors. Your virtual visit will be covered by OHIP, just register with your Health Card information and we’ll take it from there. If you don’t have one don’t worry, your visit is still covered. Once your appointment is confirmed a doctor will call you during the window of your reservation or as soon as they’re finished helping the other patients in line.

  • Cold and/or Flu symptoms
  • Eye infection, pinkeye, or styes
  • Sick notes
