Quick Answer
Burnaby patients with thyroid, diabetes, PCOS, or hormone concerns can book a virtual visit with a licensed doctor. The doctor reviews symptoms, orders labs such as TSH, A1C, and hormone panels through LifeLabs, starts or adjusts common medications, and refers you to a specialist when advanced care is needed. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.
- Virtual hormone and thyroid assessment with a licensed doctor
- Lab requisitions for TSH, A1C, and hormone panels sent to a LifeLabs collection site near you

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.
Hormone and Metabolic Concerns We Assess in Burnaby
Hormonal and metabolic symptoms can be subtle and persistent, and many people put off getting them checked. Our Canadian licensed doctors assess and manage many common concerns by video and order the blood work needed to understand what is happening. Connect with a doctor if you notice:
- Thyroid symptoms such as fatigue, weight change, cold or heat intolerance, or a racing heart
- Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes management and A1C monitoring
- PCOS concerns including irregular periods, acne, or unwanted hair growth
- Low testosterone symptoms such as low energy, low libido, or mood changes
- General hormone or metabolic questions and abnormal lab results
How Virtual Hormone and Metabolic Care Works in Burnaby
Metabolic Medicine wait times across Metro Vancouver can be long. A virtual visit with a TelePlus Care doctor gives Burnaby patients faster access to a doctor who can begin the work-up now. The doctor reviews your history, explains which tests matter, and orders the relevant labs. If your case is straightforward, the doctor can start or adjust common medications. If it is complex, they prepare a referral so your specialist visit starts with the results already in hand.
Labs and Pharmacies Across Burnaby
When testing is needed, your doctor sends the requisition to LifeLabs, the community lab provider across BC, so you can give your sample at a collection site close to home near Metrotown, Brentwood Town Centre, or Lougheed. Any prescriptions are sent to the pharmacy of your choice, including Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Save-On-Foods Pharmacy, Costco, and independent neighbourhood pharmacies across Burnaby.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care in Burnaby
Virtual care suits ongoing assessment and management, but some hormone-related symptoms are emergencies. If you experience any of the following, go to the nearest hospital emergency department, such as Burnaby Hospital, or call 911.
- Signs of very high blood sugar with confusion, deep rapid breathing, or vomiting
- Signs of very low blood sugar such as shaking, sweating, confusion, or fainting
- Possible thyroid storm: high fever, racing or irregular heart, agitation, or confusion
- Severe dehydration or persistent vomiting
- Any sudden, severe, or rapidly worsening symptoms

When We Refer to a Specialist
TelePlus Care doctors manage common hormonal and metabolic concerns, but they are licensed physicians with focused expertise in internal medicine, metabolism, and obesity medicine. Some conditions need specialist evaluation, and we arrange a referral when that is the right step.
- Complicated or unstable thyroid disease, including nodules needing assessment
- Type 1 diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes care
- Pituitary or adrenal disorders
- Suspected hormone-producing tumours or unexplained severe hormone abnormalities
- Cases not responding to initial management
