Online Doctor in Riverview

When to Talk to an Online Doctor vs Going to a Moncton ER

Many Riverview patients who default to The Moncton Hospital or the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre emergency department for a UTI, sinus infection, or prescription refill spend 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.

Booking Your Riverview Online Doctor Visit — Under 5 Minutes

We designed the booking flow so a Riverview patient can move from "I should probably see someone about this" to "I have a confirmed appointment" in under five minutes. Step 1 — Visit telepluscare.com/book-appointment or call 587-442-4898. 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. The booking team confirms appointment timing, intake needs, and follow-up expectations before your visit. Step 3 — At your appointment time, connect by secure video or phone. Most visits last 10 to 20 minutes. Prescriptions are routed to your local pharmacy. Sick notes and lab requisitions are emailed to you.

Why Riverview Patients Choose TelePlus Care

Riverview residents pick TelePlus Care over driving to a physical walk-in for a few specific reasons that come up in patient feedback consistently.

• Patient Connect waits — with tens of thousands of New Brunswickers still waiting for a family doctor, a virtual visit gives you same-day access to a licensed doctor.
• Maritime weather — nor'easters, freezing rain, and snow squalls make a round trip across the bridge to a Moncton clinic unpleasant. A virtual visit happens from home.
• 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 — a TelePlus virtual visit including booking, consult, and prescription transmission typically takes under an hour versus a half-day at a walk-in or ER.
• Licensed doctors — same standard of care as your in-person New Brunswick family doctor.
• Privacy — every visit happens on an encrypted, PIPEDA-compliant platform.
