Find out if this service is right for you
If you have a family doctor, they should be your first point of access for care. A virtual urgent care appointment may be the right option for you if:
- You are having an urgent medical issue that is not life threatening
- You are unable to obtain timely access to your family doctor or you do not have a family doctor.
- You are 18 years of age and older. (If it is for a child/youth under 18 please see our child and youth page)
- If there are no virtual appointments available, and your family doctor is not available or you do not have a family doctor, you may want to consider going to an emergency department or urgent care centre in person.
If you are in severe distress call 911. If you are having a medical emergency or your symptoms worsen while you are waiting for a virtual appointment, visit an emergency department or urgent care centre in person.
