Online Weight Loss Clinic in Markham
TelePlus Care is a virtual weight loss clinic serving Markham and the wider York Region of Ontario. Markham residents meet licensed doctors by secure video or phone — no commute, no waitlist for a family doctor, and no physical office visit required. We complete a full medical assessment, review your history and BMI, requisition any needed bloodwork at a local lab, and, where clinically appropriate, prescribe Health Canada-approved GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. You fill the prescription at any Markham pharmacy. Our focus is medical weight management with structured, longitudinal follow-up — dose titration, side-effect support, and progress reviews — not one-off scripts. Same-day or next-business-day appointments are typical across Markham.

TelePlus Care is a virtual weight loss clinic serving Markham, Ontario. licensed doctors assess clinical fit, prescribe Health Canada-approved GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) at BMI 30+, or 27+ with a comorbidity, and provide ongoing follow-up. Visits are by video; prescriptions are filled at local Markham pharmacies.
- Eligibility for GLP-1 weight management follows Obesity Canada guidelines: BMI 30+ kg/m squared, or BMI 27+ with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, prediabetes, or obstructive sleep apnea.
- Most GLP-1 medications are administered as a once-weekly self-injection (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro); liraglutide-based options are daily. Dosing is titrated gradually to limit gastrointestinal side effects.
- In clinical trials at maintenance dose, average weight loss was roughly 12-15% with semaglutide (Wegovy ~14.9%) and up to 15-22.5% with tirzepatide (Mounjaro) over 68-72 weeks, alongside lifestyle changes.
- Ongoing follow-up is essential: structured reviews at about 4, 12, and 24 weeks support safe titration, side-effect management, and durable results, since weight tends to return if treatment and lifestyle changes stop.
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.
How an Online Weight Loss Clinic Works for Markham Residents
TelePlus Care delivers medical weight management to Markham entirely online — there is no physical clinic to visit. The clinical standard mirrors an in-person clinic: a licensed doctor reviews your medical history, calculates your BMI, screens for weight-related comorbidities, requisitions bloodwork if needed, and prescribes a Health Canada-approved medication when it is clinically appropriate. The difference is logistics. Markham residents book a video or phone consultation, complete a secure intake form, and connect with a doctor without commuting to an office in Unionville, Markham Village, or Cornell. After your assessment, your prescription is sent to any pharmacy you choose across Markham. No family-doctor referral is required, which matters for the many residents without a regular GP. Same-day or next-business-day appointments are typical, and follow-up visits are built into the plan rather than left to chance.
- Book a secure video or phone visit — no Markham office trip required.
- Complete an intake covering history, BMI, comorbidities, medications, and goals.
- Receive a prescription sent to your preferred Markham pharmacy when appropriate.
- Attend structured follow-ups for titration, side-effect support, and progress review.
GLP-1 Medications: Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro
GLP-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking gut hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar, helping you feel full sooner and eat less. Markham patients are assessed for the Health Canada-approved option that best fits their clinical picture — the doctor matches the medication to you, not the other way around. Not everyone is a candidate, and your doctor will review benefits, risks, and side effects before prescribing.
- Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg, weekly) — the on-label semaglutide for chronic weight management in Canada; about 14.9% average body-weight loss in trials; supply can be intermittent.
- Ozempic (semaglutide, weekly) — approved for type 2 diabetes and prescribed off-label for weight loss in Canada when clinically justified; roughly 12-15% trial weight loss.
- Mounjaro (tirzepatide, weekly) — a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist with the highest efficacy in trial data (15-22.5%); prescribed off-label for weight loss.
- Common side effects are gastrointestinal (nausea, constipation); gradual dose titration and follow-up help manage them safely.
Who Qualifies for Medical Weight Loss
Clinical suitability follows Obesity Canada's clinical practice guidelines. Medical weight management is intended for adults whose health can benefit from treatment, and your doctor confirms suitability and screens for contraindications during the consultation. Off-label prescribing of medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro for weight loss is legal in Canada when clinically justified.
- Adults with a Body Mass Index of 30 kg/m squared or greater.
- Adults with a BMI of 27 kg/m squared or greater plus at least one weight-related condition — hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or obstructive sleep apnea.
- No personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2 syndrome.
- No history of pancreatitis.
- Not currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy in the near term.
- Final eligibility is confirmed by your licensed doctor after a full assessment.

Why Choose Medical Weight Management Over Fad Diets
Fad diets and over-the-counter supplements rarely produce durable results because they ignore the biology that drives weight regain — appetite-regulating hormones, metabolic adaptation, and individual physiology. Medical weight management treats obesity as the chronic condition it is. At TelePlus Care, a Markham resident's plan is built on an actual clinical assessment: history, BMI, comorbidity screening, and, where appropriate, Health Canada-approved medication paired with sustained changes in nutrition, activity, and sleep. Crucially, the care is longitudinal. Your doctor titrates the dose gradually, monitors side effects and blood pressure, reviews progress at defined intervals, and adjusts the plan as you go. This is the opposite of a crash diet or a single online script with no oversight. It is also safer: contraindications are screened, expectations are set honestly, and you are referred for in-person or specialist care if your situation warrants it. The goal is steady, sustainable progress you can maintain, not a quick number on a scale.
- Grounded in a real clinical assessment, not a one-size-fits-all diet.
- Health Canada-approved medication where appropriate, plus lifestyle support.
- Ongoing monitoring, dose titration, and honest expectation-setting.
