Prescriptions

Doctors can give you a prescription at their discretion, based on your consultation, without needing a walk-in clinic.

Prescription pill bottle icon

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.

Medical notes icon

They can also provide notes for many situations, such as a note for a chiropractor or registered massage therapist visit.

Lab work

Doctors on Maple can order lab work, such as blood tests, if they deem it medically appropriate.

Laboratory glass vase icon

Doctors can issue lab requisitions directly through the Maple platform for all kinds of common health issues, including testing iron levels, sexual health concerns, and more.

Diagnostic imaging requisitions, such as ultrasounds and x-rays, are also available. Please note that we’re not able to guarantee that the doctor will order any specific tests, as this is left to their medical discretion.

What our doctors can’t do

Medical emergencies

Maple is not intended for medical emergencies. If you believe you are experiencing an emergency, call 911 immediately or proceed to your nearest emergency room.

Some examples include:

  • Chest pain
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Major trauma
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding
Controlled medications

Our doctors cannot prescribe controlled medications such as narcotics.

Some examples include:

  • Narcotics, such as oxycodone, sold under brand names such as Percocet and OxyContin
  • Benzodiazepines, such as Lorazepam, sold under the brand name Ativan and others
  • Stimulant medications to treat ADHD such as brand names Ritalin, Adderall, and Vyvanse
Disability & school forms

Doctors cannot fill out WSIB or specialty disability forms, such as school absence forms.

These forms tend to be complex and require an in-person doctor visit.

Sick notes that are backdated, or for longer absences

Doctors may not be able to provide sick notes for an illness that occurred more than one week ago.

Sick notes for absences greater than a week cannot be provided, either.
