TelePlus Care connects Markham residents with licensed doctors by secure video or phone — typically within 1 to 2 hours of booking.

Whether you live in Unionville, Markham Village, Cornell, Berczy Village, Wismer, Cathedraltown, Milliken Mills, or Thornhill, you can speak with a licensed doctor from your living room.

Quick Answer
An online doctor in Markham is a licensed doctor who delivers care to Markham-area patients via secure video or phone. TelePlus Care offers same-day virtual visits across York Region for prescriptions, sick notes, UTIs, mental health, and chronic care. Your intake helps the clinician understand your symptoms, history, and goals before the visit.
- Markham has a population of approximately 340,000 residents, making it one of York Region's largest municipalities.
- Approximately 6.5 million Canadians lack a regular family doctor (Statistics Canada, 2024).
- York Region is one of Ontario's fastest-growing areas, and timely doctor access remains a documented challenge for many residents.
- TelePlus Care telehealth runs on PIPEDA-compliant, Canadian-hosted infrastructure aligned with Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA).

Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments go ahead only when a doctor agrees it is the right call, after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
What an Online Doctor in Markham Actually Does
An online doctor in Markham is a fully licensed doctor who consults with patients remotely instead of from a brick-and-mortar clinic. At TelePlus Care, every doctor is licensed and trained to deliver virtual care across York Region — students commuting to York University and Seneca College, downtown Toronto professionals living in Unionville and Cornell, parents in Berczy Village and Wismer, seniors in Markham Village and Thornhill, and remote workers in Milliken Mills and Cathedraltown. During an online doctor appointment you describe your symptoms by secure video or phone, the doctor asks targeted clinical questions, reviews your relevant history, and then provides a diagnosis and a treatment plan. If a prescription is appropriate it is sent to the Markham pharmacy of your choice. If a documentation product like a sick note is needed, it is delivered to you digitally. If your case requires hands-on examination — chest auscultation, deep wound assessment, imaging — your online doctor will tell you so directly and route you to the right in-person resource.
When to See an Online Doctor vs Going to a Markham ER
Most Markham patients who default to the Markham Stouffville Hospital emergency department for a UTI, sinus infection, or prescription refill are spending several hours in a waiting room for care that could be handled virtually in 20 to 30 minutes. Online doctor visits are designed for routine, non-emergency concerns. Severe symptoms still belong in an emergency department. Go to an emergency room or call 911 for any of the following — do not book a virtual visit:
- Chest pain, pressure, or shortness of breath that is new or severe.
- Sudden weakness, facial droop, slurred speech, or any suspected stroke symptom.
- Severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of internal bleeding.
- Major trauma, suspected fracture, deep lacerations, or significant burns.
- Suicidal ideation with intent or any acute psychiatric crisis (call 911 or attend the nearest emergency department).
- Severe allergic reactions, throat swelling, or difficulty breathing.
- Heavy uncontrolled bleeding or any loss of consciousness.
Conditions Markham Online Doctors Treat Daily
TelePlus Care's online doctors treat a wide range of routine conditions for Markham patients. Most virtual visits resolve in a single appointment with a same-day prescription or a digital sick note delivered to your inbox.
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) — fast assessment and same-day prescription for uncomplicated UTIs.
- Sinus infections, colds, and seasonal flu — common through Markham's cold winters and humid summers.
- Sore throat and suspected strep — clinical assessment with a LifeLabs or Dynacare requisition if a swab is needed.
- Ear infections in adults and children — assessment and treatment plan.
- Pink eye (conjunctivitis) — visual assessment by video and same-day prescription where indicated.
- Skin issues — acne, eczema, psoriasis flares, rashes, and fungal infections.
- Mental health support — anxiety, depression, stress, sleep difficulties, and ADHD follow-up care.
- Prescription refills — for stable, ongoing medications including blood pressure and asthma inhalers.
- Doctor's notes for work or school.
- Chronic disease management — diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, and asthma check-ins.
Booking Your Markham Online Doctor Visit — Under 5 Minutes
We designed the booking flow so a Markham patient can move from "I should probably see someone about this" to "I have a confirmed appointment" in under five minutes. Step 1 — Visit the TelePlus Care booking page. Choose virtual visit and pick a same-day slot. Step 2 — Enter your contact details and a brief reason for visit. This helps the doctor prepare and keeps the consult focused. Appointment steps are shown before you confirm. Step 3 — At your appointment time, connect by secure video or phone. Most visits last 10 to 20 minutes. Prescriptions are routed to your Markham pharmacy. Sick notes and lab requisitions are emailed to you.
How Online Doctor Visits Work in Markham
TelePlus Care online doctor visits in Markham are offered through a clear booking process. Appointment steps are reviewed, and it shared before booking. Documentation products — sick notes, work-accommodation letters, school medical letters, return-to-work forms, and third-party paperwork — are also offered at clearly stated appointment steps. Whether you are a new Markham resident, an out-of-province visitor, or simply want faster access than a walk-in queue allows, you will always see the appointment steps before you book.

Why Markham Patients Choose TelePlus Care
Markham residents pick TelePlus Care over driving to a physical walk-in for a few specific reasons that come up in patient feedback consistently.
- Winter weather — icy mornings, freezing rain, and slow Highway 7 and Highway 404 traffic make a 2-hour round trip to a walk-in unpleasant. A virtual visit happens from your kitchen.
- Contagious illness — when you are coughing, feverish, or have pink eye, sitting in a crowded waiting room exposes others. Stay home, get treated.
- Time savings — total time for a TelePlus virtual visit including booking, consult, and prescription transmission is far shorter than the hours a physical walk-in or ER trip can take.
- Same-day access — most Markham family doctors are booking 1 to 3 weeks out for non-urgent issues. We see you today.
- Licensed doctors — every doctor is licensed, the same standard of care as your in-person Markham family doctor.
- Privacy — every visit happens on an encrypted platform compliant with Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA).
