TelePlus Care
Online Metabolism & Obesity Care in Manitoba
For people across Manitoba, from Winnipeg to Brandon and the rural and northern communities, hormone and thyroid care should not depend on a long specialist wait list. TelePlus Care connects you by video with a licensed doctor who assesses common thyroid, diabetes, PCOS, and testosterone concerns, orders the right blood work through your local lab, and refers you to a specialist when advanced care is required.

Quick Answer
Patients across Manitoba with thyroid, diabetes, PCOS, or low-testosterone concerns can book a virtual visit with a licensed doctor through TelePlus Care. The doctor reviews symptoms, orders labs such as TSH, A1C, and hormone panels through Shared Health or Dynacare, starts or adjusts common medications, and refers to a specialist when advanced care is needed. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.
- Virtual visit with a licensed doctor for hormone, thyroid, and metabolic concerns
- Lab requisitions (TSH, A1C, hormone panels) arranged through Shared Health or Dynacare
- Referral to a specialist arranged when advanced care is required
- Your intake helps the clinician understand your symptoms, history, and goals before the visit.

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 Thyroid Concerns We Assess Across Manitoba
Hormonal and metabolic conditions are common and often develop slowly over months. A TelePlus Care doctor can assess and help manage many of these virtually for patients across Manitoba, which is especially useful for those in rural and northern communities far from a specialist. Consider a virtual visit if you notice any of the following:
- Thyroid symptoms such as fatigue, weight change, hair thinning, or feeling cold or overheated
- Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes that needs review or medication adjustment
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) symptoms like irregular periods or unwanted hair growth
- Low testosterone symptoms such as low energy, low libido, or mood changes
- General hormone or metabolic concerns you want investigated with blood work
Virtual Access Across the Province
Across Manitoba, seeing a specialist usually means a referral and a wait, with most specialists based in Winnipeg. A TelePlus Care visit lets you begin the process from home, whether you live in the city or in a smaller community. A licensed doctor reviews your symptoms, orders the relevant baseline blood work through your local lab, and begins or adjusts common medications where appropriate. When your results or symptoms point to a condition that needs specialist input, the doctor arranges a referral to a specialist rather than managing it virtually.
Communities, Labs, and Pharmacies We Serve in Manitoba
TelePlus Care patients across Manitoba fill prescriptions at the pharmacy of their choice. Whether you live in Winnipeg, Brandon, Steinbach, Thompson, Portage la Prairie, Winkler, or a rural community, your prescription and lab requisition are handled during the visit. Blood work requisitions are arranged through Shared Health Diagnostic Services or Dynacare collection sites across Manitoba. Prescriptions can be filled at Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, Costco, Safeway, Walmart Pharmacy, or an independent neighbourhood pharmacy.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care
Virtual care suits ongoing assessment and routine management, but some hormone-related symptoms are urgent and need in-person evaluation at your nearest hospital emergency department or by calling 911.
- Signs of very high blood sugar: extreme thirst, frequent urination, confusion, fruity breath, or drowsiness
- Signs of very low blood sugar: shaking, sweating, confusion, or loss of consciousness
- Possible thyroid storm: high fever, racing or irregular heartbeat, agitation, or confusion
- Severe dehydration or persistent vomiting
- Any sudden, severe, or rapidly worsening symptoms
