Yes, our certified online physicians in Scarborough can order blood tests, urine tests, or X-rays for you if necessary to investigate your condition.

You can then take that requisition to any medical lab in Scarborough to get the test done.

Yes, you can get an online prescription for weight loss medications. Our  physicians can issue online prescription for Wegovy, Saxenda, and Ozempic after a brief video or chat assessment. Simply start a virtual visit from Agincourt, share your weight-loss goals, and if appropriate, we’ll send the medication to your preferred Scarborough pharmacy.

Family doctors are legally allowed to prescribe Accutane (isotretinoin) if they’re comfortable managing the required lab work and monitoring. Because walk-in clinics in Scarborough often have long waits, an in-person visit can take hours. Instead, you can request an Accutane refill through our virtual clinic. Upload your recent lab results, and if it’s medically appropriate, a Scarborough-licensed doctor can send the prescription to your local pharmacy.

Scarborough residents can access telehealth services through various online platforms or virtual clinics. Many telehealth platforms like Your Doctors Online are available 24/7 without needing an appointment.

Yes,  one significant benefit of telehealth virtual consultation in Scarborough is that it’s typically available on-demand, even during evenings, nights, and weekends. In fact, online doctors are often ready to see patients “around-the-clock,” and some services advertise connection times as fast as 5 minutes for a consultation. You usually do not need to schedule days in advance; instead, you request a visit when needed and get into a queue to chat with the next available doctor.

 Absolutely. Online doctors in Scarborough can prescribe most medications just like an in-person doctor would. After evaluating you via video or phone, the doctor can send an electronic prescription (e-prescription) directly to your preferred pharmacy in Scarborough. Pharmacies treat these e-prescriptions as valid; they include the doctor’s signature and license details for verification.

Telehealth is very well-suited for many non-emergency medical issues. Online doctors can diagnose and recommend treatment for common illnesses such as colds, flu, coughs, sore throats, urinary tract infections, sinus infections, rashes, minor injuries (sprains), and digestive issues. They also frequently manage chronic conditions (like renewing asthma inhalers or diabetes medications) and mental health concerns (like anxiety or depression counselling) via virtual visits.

You don’t need much. One reason telehealth is so popular is its simplicity. To have a virtual doctor appointment, patients will generally need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with an internet connection. A device with a camera and microphone is ideal for a full video consultation (most modern phones and laptops have these built-in).

Yes, when you use reputable telehealth platforms or services, the doctors are fully licensed in Scarborough (or whatever province they practice in) and meet all the regulatory requirements to provide care. In Ontario, any doctor providing virtual care must be licensed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) or have special permission if they’re out-of-province. Telehealth platforms make a point of hiring board-certified Canadian doctors. 

Privacy is a top priority in telehealth. Virtual visits in Scarborough (and elsewhere in Ontario) are conducted using secure, encrypted platforms to protect your personal health information. Healthcare providers must comply with Ontario’s health privacy laws (PHIPA) just as they would in a clinic. 

Telehealth is not intended for true medical emergencies. If you experience severe symptoms like chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, serious injury, or anything you feel is life-threatening, you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Do not wait to chat with an online doctor. Virtual doctors are great for many urgent but not life-threatening issues.

Yes, one of the significant advantages of telehealth in Scarborough is helping residents who don’t have a regular family physician. If you’re one of those without a GP, an online doctor can be a vital healthcare access point.

Yes, online doctors can provide medical notes and documentation just as in-person doctors can. For instance, if you need a sick note for your employer or a note for school because you were ill, a telehealth physician can issue that after evaluating you.
