Courtenay patients with thyroid, diabetes, PCOS, or hormone symptoms can book a virtual visit with a licensed doctor through TelePlus Care.

A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.

Hormone and Endocrine Concerns We Assess for Courtenay Patients
Hormonal and metabolic problems can develop slowly and affect energy, weight, mood, and overall health. A TelePlus Care doctor can assess and manage many common concerns by video for patients across Courtenay and the Comox Valley. Book a virtual visit if you are dealing with any of the following:
- Suspected or known thyroid problems, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism

What an Online Endocrinology Visit Includes
Driving to a clinic in Courtenay or waiting months for a specialist referral can delay care for thyroid and hormone concerns. A virtual visit connects you with a licensed doctor who reviews your history, discusses your symptoms, and builds a plan with you. When blood work is needed, the doctor sends a requisition to the LifeLabs collection site nearest you in Courtenay, so testing such as TSH, A1C, or hormone panels is convenient.

When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care in Courtenay

When We Refer Courtenay Patients to an Endocrinologist
TelePlus Care doctors manage many common hormone and metabolic concerns, but they are not specialist endocrinologists. When your situation calls for specialist expertise, the doctor arranges a referral and helps coordinate your next steps. Cases typically referred to an endocrinologist include:
- Complicated or unstable thyroid disease, including thyroid nodules needing investigation
- Type 1 diabetes and complex insulin management
- Suspected pituitary, adrenal, or other endocrine gland disorders
- Suspected endocrine tumours or abnormal imaging findings
- Hormone problems that do not respond to initial treatment
