Option 1: Live Audio/Video Visit
(connect in less than 1 week)
Why is there a fee?
Public health insurance in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland does not currently insure direct-to-patient-device virtual care.
Sometimes your skin concern just can't wait for months or years. We offer this service for individuals looking to connect with a Dermatologist within a reasonable time frame - less than one week.
As your province does not have enough Board-Certified Dermatologists, we connect you virtually with Canadian Dermatologists located in other regions who can provide you with the same quality care that you deserve.
