Maple vs. Telehealth Ontario
With Maple you can instantly connect with Canadian doctors for medical care from your phone, tablet or computer — any time, 24/7.
Telehealth Ontario connects you to a Registered Nurse for medical questions — it doesn't replace a doctor's visit for an actual diagnosis or prescription.
We’ll send a notification as soon as the pharmacy has your prescription.

Prescriptions

Prescriptions on Maple are digital, and we send them to the pharmacy of your choice for fulfillment.
We can even have them delivered to your door in most cases, at no additional cost to you.
Medical notes
Doctors can provide sick notes for school or work for short absences, so you can focus on resting instead of sitting in a waiting room.
They can also provide notes for therapist treatments, like a note for a chiropractor or registered massage therapist.

How does Teleahealth Ontario measure up?
24/7 access to registered nurses
Telehealth Ontario is a free, confidential service Ontario residents can call to get health advice or information from a Registered Nurse.
Telehealth Ontario is only offered over the phone.
If you need a diagnosis or a prescription, the Registered Nurse you're speaking to will most likely refer you to see a doctor instead.
No prescriptions
If you're looking for a diagnosis or prescription, you cannot use Telehealth Ontario — Registered Nurses can provide advice, but they cannot diagnose or prescribe medications.
Only licensed, medical physicians in Canada can diagnose and prescribe you medications.
No medical notes
If you're looking for a medical note, you'll need to speak to a Canadian licensed physician who can assess you and provide a note as necessary.
Similar to prescriptions, Registered Nurses cannot provide you with a sick note over the Telehealth Ontario phone line.
Not a health record-keeping solution
If you need a convenient way to access and store your own personal medical records, Telehealth Ontario does not provide you with this feature.
Currently, there's only a few providers in Canada that let you securely access and store your private health information.
See a doctor in 2 minutes or less.
Visits start at $49. Online medical visits are not covered by provincial health plans.

Saves a lot of time compared to sitting in a doctor's office!
Legitimate and just as described, with fabulous doctors. Totally fills the late-night worry gap!
Not having to endure a long wait at a walk in clinic is fabulous. Especially since I have twin pre-schoolers to contend with.
The service is so quick and professional and saves hours spent in a walk-in-clinic. This is a game changer for busy moms and I recommend it to everyone!
Instead of my husband having to drag both kids to the hospital or walk in alone he was able to see a doctor right away and get a prescription faxed to our local pharmacy.
Our family has used this service twice so far and it has been amazing. Both doctors were friendly, compassionate and you never feel rushed.
Was concerned I wouldn’t be able to see a doctor without an appointment. I installed the Maple app, spoke to a doctor and had my prescription in under 30 min.
I used Maple for the first time today. It was quick and easy, took less than ten minutes including connecting time and the doctor was professional and friendly.
LOVE This service. Not only do you have a doctor within seconds but they are professional and knowledgable.
Absolutely blown away. It was SO easy to use. No wait time getting connected with a doctor. Getting the prescription faxed to the pharmacy made it a seamless process.
