Non-Emergency Treatment Alternatives
General Practice Physicians' Offices | Walk-In Clinics | Telehealth | Clinics
When it’s not an emergency, you have several places and organizations you may contact or attend for treatment.
General Practice (GP) Physicians' Offices
Do you have a General Practitioner (GP) or family doctor? If you need an annual check-up, or care for a minor cold or flu, sore throat, minor sprain or strain, stomach upset or minor muscle ache and pain, you should make an appointment to see your GP.
A GP is the doctor who should be following your health on an ongoing basis.
Walk-In Clinics
These clinics, usually staffed by GPs, are located in various retail malls and commercial settings, and are open during the daytime and after hours. Please consult your Yellow Pages directory, under the heading "Clinics," for hours of operation and a location near you.
Telehealth: 1-866-797-0000
Telehealth Ontario is a free, confidential telephone service you can call to get health advice or general health information from a Registered Nurse.
These qualified health professionals can assess your symptoms and help you decide your best first step. They can help you decide whether to care for yourself, make an appointment with your doctor, go to a clinic, contact a community service or go to a hospital emergency room.
The Telehealth Ontario service is provided in English and French, with translation support for other languages and a direct TTY number for those with hearing and speech difficulties. Callers can also be connected to medication information and health information audio tapes.
