No Family Doctor in Ontario? Here's What You Can Do Right Now

If you live in Ontario and you don't have a family doctor, you're not alone. Over 2 million
Ontarians are in the same situation right now. The wait to get a family doctor can take years —
and in the meantime, you still need care.
So what can you actually do? Here are your best options.

  1. Register with Health Care Connect
    Health Care Connect is Ontario's official program that matches you with a family doctor or nurse
    practitioner who is taking new patients. You can register online at ontario.ca. It doesn't get you
    in right away, but it gets you in the queue.

  2. Try a Walk-In Clinic
    Walk-in clinics can help with non-emergency needs. But wait times can be long, and you won't
    always see the same doctor twice. It's a short-term fix, not a long-term solution.

  3. Use Virtual Care
    This is where things have really changed. Virtual care lets you see a licensed doctor or nurse
    practitioner online — often the same day. You can do it from your phone, tablet, or computer.
    No commute, no waiting room.
    With RevDoc, you can connect with a provider in Ontario quickly and easily. Whether you need
    a prescription renewed, a sick note, or help with an ongoing health concern, RevDoc has you
    covered.

  4. Look Into Nurse Practitioners

    Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are highly trained health professionals who can do many of the same
    things as a family doctor — including prescribing medications and ordering tests. Many NPs are
    taking new patients right now.
    RevDoc works with NPs across Ontario, so you have more options for finding consistent, quality
    care.


You Deserve a Care Option That Works for You
Not having a family doctor is stressful. But you have more options today than ever before.
Virtual care is covered by many insurance plans and is an affordable option for those without
coverage.
