One plan = unlimited doctor visits, doctor's notes, & refills in Scarborough
Scarborough is home to over half a million residents and faces a severe doctor shortage. About 15% of locals don’t have a family physician, and its hospital ERs often run at nearly 200% capacity, well beyond their limits. Many patients wait hours for basic care or drive across the city for minor issues.
Your Doctors Online bridges this gap. In under five minutes, you can start a secure virtual consultation, describe your symptoms, and connect with a licensed Scarborough doctor for advice, prescriptions, referrals, or even a sick note. From lingering coughs to managing chronic conditions, our telehealth doctors deliver expert care straight to your screen so you can skip the long queues and get well faster.
FAQs about online doctors licensed in Scarborough
Can you see a doctor in Scarborough without a health card?
Yes, with Your Doctors Online, you can speak to a board-certified online doctor in Scarborough without an OHIP card. Start a 24/7 video or chat visit, pay a flat fee, and receive medical advice, prescriptions, or sick notes instantly, without going through insurance paperwork.
Can an online doctor in Scarborough order lab tests or blood work for me?
Yes, our certified online physicians in Scarborough can order blood tests, urine tests, or X-rays for you if necessary to investigate your condition. They will write a lab requisition just like an in-person doctor would and send it to you electronically via email. You can then take that requisition to any medical lab in Scarborough to get the test done.
How fast can I get prescription refills from a virtual doctor?
While the exact time varies between telehealth platforms, our healthcare providers can provide you with prescription refills in Scarborough within 5 minutes and send the prescriptions to your local pharmacy.
Can I get a weight loss prescription in the Agincourt area of Scarborough?
Yes, you can get an online prescription for weight loss medications. Our physicians can issue online prescription for Wegovy in Canada, 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.
Can family doctors prescribe Accutane in Scarborough?
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.
How can I access a virtual consultation with an online doctor in Scarborough?
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. You can connect with a licensed Scarborough physician via video or phone within minutes, avoiding the long wait times often seen at local clinics.
Are virtual consultations in Scarborough available after hours, and how quickly can I get 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.
Can a telehealth doctor in Scarborough prescribe medication, and will my local pharmacy accept it?
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.
What kinds of health issues can be handled through telehealth in Scarborough?
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.
Are online doctors in Scarborough legitimate and licensed to provide care?
Yes, when you use reputable telehealth platforms or services in Scarborough, only licensed virtual doctors in Ontario will assist you. The doctors meet all the regulatory requirements of College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) or have special permission if they’re out-of-province (whatever province they practice in).
What if I have an emergency or a problem that requires a physical exam?
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.
I don’t have a family doctor in Scarborough, so can an online doctor help me?
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.
Can I get a doctor’s note or medical documentation through a virtual consultation in Scarborough?
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.
