Virtual care is bridging the gaps in Canada's strained healthcare system
Canada is the second-largest country in the world. Its size creates unique opportunities for how people access healthcare across different regions. Many communities rely on walk-in clinics, hospitals, and family practices that work hard to support local patients, especially in busy urban centres and expanding rural areas.
Today, more than 6.5 million Canadians are seeking a family doctor or nurse practitioner, and national planning estimates show that Canada will need thousands more family physicians in the coming years. Rural and remote areas continue to expand their healthcare services, and many residents travel to nearby towns or primary care providers as part of their regular care routine.
Some Canadians schedule appointments a week or two ahead or travel 35 km or more for visits, depending on where they live. The traditional Canadian system often asks you to wait days, weeks, or even months when you need basic preventive care, such as:
- Refill for birth control
- Managing a chronic condition
- Treatment of sexual health issues
- Getting antibiotics for UTI symptoms
We make it easy to ask a doctor for help, anytime
With Your Doctors Online, you can skip the hassle of travel and long waits at clinics in Canadian provinces. Start a text, audio, or video telehealth visit with a licensed doctor and receive expert care for everyday illness and chronic conditions from the comfort of your home.
Our providers offer around-the-clock virtual appointments for:
- New prescriptions for bacterial infections
- Prescription refills for asthma, diabetes, and other stable chronic conditions
- Annual checkups
- Dermatology care for acne, eczema, and other skin conditions
Whether you're in a major city or a small town in Canada, see a doctor online with just a few taps. You can start your virtual doctor appointment at any time, day or night, and get care in minutes.

Frequently asked questions
What is Your Doctors Online?
Your Doctors Online is a 24/7 virtual clinic that connects you with licensed healthcare providers through chat, audio, or video. You can get medical advice, prescriptions, lab orders, and doctor’s notes, and other healthcare services from your phone without going to a clinic.
Can I talk to a doctor instantly?
Yes. Our goal is to connect you to our physicians in under a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will be connected to a doctor in less than 30 seconds, and there is no need to book days or weeks in advance for your appointment.
Are your doctors licensed?
Yes. All supervising physicians on Your Doctors Online are licensed in the regions where they practice. They follow the same standards of care as in-person clinics and comply with the regulations of their state medical college.
What health concerns can you help with?
We provide virtual care for most of the health concerns you’d usually bring to a walk-in clinic, such as:
- Cough, cold, flu, fever
- UTIs and other infections
- Skin issues (rashes, acne, sores)
- Stomach problems (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation)
- Allergies
- Mild psychological problems (anxiety, low mood)
If we can’t safely manage your condition online, we’ll advise where to go next.
When should I not use Your Doctors Online?
Virtual doctors are helpful for many everyday health concerns, but they aren’t the right choice for emergencies. Call 911 or visit your nearest emergency department if you experience:
- Chest pain or difficulty breathing
- Signs of a stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, speech trouble)
- Severe injury or heavy bleeding
- Sudden, intense pain
- Thoughts of harming yourself or others
For safety reasons, we also don’t prescribe controlled medications (such as narcotics or benzodiazepines). If your condition requires an in-person assessment, our licensed doctors will guide you on the next steps, so you receive the right care.
Can you prescribe medications?
Yes. Our doctors can issue most medications when it’s medically appropriate. You will get free prescription delivery to your preferred Canadian pharmacy, and in many cases, you can also get home delivery, depending on local pharmacy options. We do not prescribe controlled substances (for example, narcotics, opioids, or certain stimulant medications).
Can I get a doctor’s note online?
Yes. If our online doctor determines it’s appropriate, they will provide you with one in minutes. You’ll receive a PDF with the doctor’s name, license details, and contact information, which you can download.
Can I access lab tests and imaging requisitions?
Yes. Our doctors can provide requisitions for blood work, X-rays, and other tests when medically indicated during the audio or video chat. You take the requisition to a local lab or imaging center, and the results are sent back for review.
Can I get virtual care for my children or other family members?
Yes. Our family-friendly plans allow you to get care for yourself and eligible family members (such as your children or spouse). You’ll be able to choose who the visit is for when you start a health consultation.
Is my information private?
Yes. Your privacy is a top priority. We use strong encryption and store data securely in compliance with PIPEDA privacy laws in the regions we serve. Your information is never shared with employers or third parties without your consent, except where required by law or for your care (for example, sending prescriptions or lab orders).
