Vancouver is a vibrant coastal city known for its cultural diversity and stunning mountain backdrop. A hub for film, art, and music, it’s home to more than 662,000 residents, but Vancouver’s healthcare system is under growing strain.
700,000 people across BC don’t have a family doctor, including many Vancouver residents. Walk-in clinics often stop accepting patients early, UPCCs fill quickly, and access becomes even harder after hours. As a result, nearly 142,000 people left BC ERs without being seen in recent years.
We remove these barriers by offering 24/7 BC telehealth providers in Vancouver, giving residents access to medical advice when they need it most.
Vancouver telehealth services for everyday medical needs
Vancouver residents use an after-hours virtual walk-in clinic
Most walk-in hospitals in Vancouver close early, stop accepting patients in the afternoon, or aren’t open on weekends, leaving people searching for care late at night or on holidays.
That’s where an online walk-in clinic comes in. Instead of waiting until morning or going to the ER for non-urgent issues, Vancouver residents can use Your Doctors Online to talk to a licensed doctor 24/7.
With YDO, you can book an appointment with a Vancouver online doctor and get medical care anytime, whether it’s late at night, early morning, or when nearby clinics are closed.
Online doctor prescriptions in Vancouver
Our online Vancouver doctors are eligible to prescribe most non-controlled medications. Whether you need a medication for UTIs, cold and flu symptoms, respiratory infections, allergies, asthma, or skin conditions, or need chronic medication refills, you can get it with just a few taps. Whether you’re downtown, in Kitsilano, Burnaby, or elsewhere in Vancouver, we will deliver your prescription to your local pharmacy free of cost. Examples of prescriptions you can get online are:
- Blood pressure medications such as Lisinopril refill
- Pain medication
- Allergy medications such as Singular prescription
- Weight loss medication such as Wegovy prescription
- Birth control renewals
Doctor’s notes online for work or school in Vancouver
While the Employment Standards Act allows employers and schools in Vancouver to request a doctor’s note for repeated absences, getting one often means waiting hours, which is the last thing you want when you’re already sick.
That’s where our telehealth in Canada makes things easier. You can talk to an online doctor, if medically appropriate, and receive a real doctor’s note online without traveling or sitting in a waiting room. Our medical notes meet BC workplace and school requirements, confirm you were medically assessed, and keep your personal health details private.
Talk to a Vancouver doctor by phone or secure video consultation
Phone and video calls let you talk to a doctor right from home, fast, simple, and on your schedule.
You can speak to a licensed Vancouver doctor by phone or via secure video, just as you would in an in-person medical appointment. You’ll explain your symptoms, answer questions, and get medical advice the same way you would at a clinic without the commute or wait.
We follow PIPEDA (Canada’s privacy law), which means your calls, chats, and medical information are secure, confidential, and protected. Nothing is recorded or shared without your consent.

What is Your Doctors Online?
Your Doctors Online is a 24/7 virtual service that connects you with licensed doctors through secure chat, audio, or video. You can get medical advice, prescriptions, lab requisitions, and doctors’ notes from your phone or computer without going to a walk-in clinic in Vancouver.
How fast can I talk to a doctor in Vancouver?
Very fast. Our goal is to connect you to our Vancouver clinical team in under a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The connection is less than 30 seconds, and there is no need to book days or weeks in advance.
Are your doctors licensed?
Yes. All supervising physicians on Your Doctors Online are fully licensed in the regions where they practice. They follow the same standards of care as in-person clinics and must comply with their provincial or state medical college or board.
What kind of issues can you help with?
We can help with most concerns you’d normally bring to a family doctor or medical clinic, such as:

- Chest pain or trouble breathing
- Signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty)
- Severe injury or major bleeding
- Sudden, severe pain
- Thoughts of self-harm or harming others
We also don’t prescribe controlled substances (like narcotics or benzodiazepines) and may redirect you to in-person care when needed.
Can you order lab tests and imaging in Vancouver?
Yes. Doctors can provide lab requisitions (e.g., for bloodwork, urine tests, some imaging like X-rays or ultrasounds) when medically indicated. You take the requisition to a local lab or imaging center, and the results are sent back for review.
Can you see my children or other family members?
Yes. With our family-friendly plans, you can use your account to get care for yourself and eligible family members (for example, your children or spouse) as allowed by your plan. You’ll be able to choose who the visit is for when you start a doctor’s consultation.

Is my information private and secure?
Yes. Your privacy is a top priority. We use strong encryption and store data securely in compliance with healthcare 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).
Does the provincial health plan cover an online healthcare provider visit?
Not always. You can see a doctor without a valid MSP health card through YDO. Simply select a subscription plan, connect with a licensed doctor, and receive care even when you do not have a valid health card.
