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.

Learn more about WebMD
Not a live doctor's visit
WebMD is a great resource when you're looking for valuable health information and tools for your health.
But, you cannot use WebMD to speak with a doctor for real-time advice or treatment options.
WebMD also offers you an online symptom checker to help self-identify possible conditions related to symptoms.
No prescriptions
You can find medication information on WebMD for various conditions, but you cannot get a prescription through WebMD.
Only licensed, medical physicians in Canada can 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, WebMD cannot provide you with a sick note since you're not speaking to a physician in real-time.
Not a health record-keeping solution
If you need a convenient way to access and store your own personal medical records, WebMD does not provide 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.
