Why would I see a Healthcare Provider online?

You can see a Healthcare Provider online for a range of issues, from minor illnesses and injuries, symptoms from a chronic condition, or to address general health concerns.

Here are a few reasons people go online to see a Healthcare Provider:

I feel like I should probably see a Healthcare Provider but can’t really fit it into my over-booked schedule.

It’s difficult for me to get a Healthcare Provider’s appointment.

I’m not sure if I should go to the ER or not.

My Healthcare Provider’s office is closed, and I don’t want to go to an urgent care facility, clinic or hospital.

I just moved and don’t know any Healthcare Providers in my area.

I just need a second opinion.

I don’t have healthcare cover.

I have a question about a loved-one’s health and would like some advice.
