16% of Halifax residents are stuck on the family doctor waitlist. At the same time, the city’s 65-plus population is rising, and with it, the burden of conditions that need steady follow-up, such as diabetes, hypertension, and COPD.
Clinics are overwhelmed, ERs are packed, and getting an appointment with a family doctor for quick follow-ups can feel impossible.
You can speak to a board-certified Nova Scotia online doctor right away. Our 24/7 service lets you consult a doctor virtually without spending hours in a packed ER, or driving across the Macdonald Bridge in Halifax rush-hour traffic.

You receive the same qualified care you’d get in person, delivered securely via video or chat.
