Online Doctor Consultation in South Shore, Montreal
Online doctor consultations at Clinique Revive let you connect with a family physician through a secure video platform from your home or workplace, anywhere in Québec. The format is appropriate for many concerns that do not require a physical exam — medication reviews and renewals, mental health follow-ups, lab result discussions, simple acute symptoms, post-visit check-ins, and questions where remote evaluation is sufficient.
For concerns that need an exam or procedure, the doctor either books an in-person visit or directs you to the right setting.
Anywhere in Québec
If you have a Québec health-care relationship, the physician can see you remotely, no matter your address.
Suited to specific concerns
Medication review, mental health follow-up, lab discussion, mild acute symptoms — well-served virtually.
Honest about limits
Some issues need a physical exam; the doctor says so and helps you reach in-person care.
When an online consultation makes sense
Telemedicine fits prescription renewals for stable conditions, medication review and adjustment when no exam is needed, mental health appointments (initial assessment for some concerns and follow-ups for most), follow-up after in-person visits, lab and imaging result discussions, and many simple acute concerns. It is not appropriate for chest pain, severe shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain, suspected stroke, severe injury, heavy bleeding — these need in-person urgent or emergency care.
Skin conditions sometimes work over video; sometimes they do not — the doctor advises on the spot.
Preparation for an online consultation
Have a quiet, private, well-lit space where your video and audio will work — testing the link before the appointment is wise. Have your medication list, recent labs, and any relevant photos ready on your device.
Prepare a short summary of why you are calling: when symptoms started, what you have tried, what you want answered. Have your provincial health card ID ready.
Pets, children, and people walking through the call all reduce visit quality — try to minimize disruption.
What follows a virtual visit
Prescriptions can be sent electronically to your pharmacy where the system supports it. Lab and imaging requisitions can be sent electronically or to a partner location.
The doctor’s notes are documented in the visit record. If the call reveals something that needs in-person evaluation, the doctor explains and helps you book the right next step at Clinique Revive or directs you elsewhere if more urgent.
Insurance receipts are issued the same way as in-person visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a new prescription over a virtual visit?
For many medications, yes. For controlled substances or complex new prescriptions, an in-person visit may be required first.
What if I need a sick note for work?
The doctor can issue medical notes appropriate to the assessment — but cannot certify periods of disability remotely without proper assessment. Briefer notes for short illnesses are usually fine virtually.
Are virtual visits private?
Yes — they use secure platforms and the same privacy protections as in-person care. The doctor confirms identity at the start of the visit.
How is this different from an in-person doctor consultation?
Same medicine, different mode. Some concerns work just as well virtually; others genuinely need a physical exam.
The doctor will not pretend a virtual visit can do something it cannot.
