Why our Canadian patients think we are the best
As we know, the healthcare system in Canada can be very frustrating at times. YourDoctors has saved me countless hours in clinic waiting rooms with impatient staff who don't actually listen to me. I've been able to get a same day ADHD assesment, prescription for depression, as well as a minor things like medicine for strep throat. All without leaving the house.

Well- it was so efficient. I would probably have to wait 1-4 weeks to see a doctor in Victoria, BC, Canada. This took 1 min. They addressed my health issues and my prescription will be ready in less than 2 hours. Brilliant

We signed my American husband up a few weeks ago as he is currently waiting for immigration status in Canada. He has had a few consults with a PA and a prescription written and sent to our pharmacy as well as a session with a therapist. We have been very happy thus far with the service provided.
~Lynn DeGeer-Baker Trustpilot
Doctors online is an amazing service. The PA, doctor Ataullah delivered a superb service. I Just got off the chat with the doctor. He diagnosed my child and prescribed medicine to him. He saved my night as my child was very ill and we needed medications. In a country like Canada the only other option in Canada was to go to ER and spend 7 to 16 hrs. This app is a savior, but medication needed time for approval. In daytime it's fine but evening a 4 hrs wait for prescription approval is a lot.

This is my first time using Your Doctors, i dont think ill ever go to a walk in again. Super convenient, affordable and efficient. As you know in Canada health care is free which is wonderful, however wait times can be tedious and sometimes with work, life & kids its not possible to make the walk in before they close. This was very fast and only took a few minutes, you can do it from anywhere big time saver. The Dr. submitted my prescription to my pharmacy not all i have to do is pick it up. Totally worth it very happy with this service.
