Online doctors are held to the same medical standards as in-person doctors. They’ll take your history, ask thorough questions, and even guide you through a basic exam on yourself if possible. Of course, there are limits. They can’t palpate your abdomen or listen to your heart through the screen, but they’re trained to know those limits. If there’s any doubt or something they can’t assess properly online, they will tell you to get in-person care (that’s part of their ethical duty). However, for a vast range of common issues, studies and patient experiences show virtual care is just as effective as a clinic visit.

The township of Nipigon has about 1,526 residents, and the wider Nipigon catchment area (including nearby communities from Dorion to Beardmore) is roughly 3,200 people. These residents are served by a small physician team of about 5 family doctors when fully staffed. This means that a significant portion of the population is often without a doctor or needs to travel long distances to get urgent care. However, with Your Doctors Online, you can connect to a certified physician from your home at any time of the day. 

While Nipigon ranks on fourth for the lowest ER wait times, non-urgent doctor visits may involve longer waits due to limited physicians. The Nipigon District Family Health Team’s urgent care clinic (open on select weekdays) often requires booking in advance, and routine appointments can sometimes take days or weeks to schedule during busy periods. If local wait times become too long or if a service isn’t available, residents may need to travel to Thunder Bay for care. With our telehealth services, you can skip the wait and travel, and see a telehealth doctor in minutes.
