Book a virtual appointment and get a doctor’s note online from a board certified MD in British Columbia the exact same day.

It's time to skip the waiting room. With Rocket Doctor, you'll be able to speak with a fully vetted physician from the comfort of your home, on the very same day, completely covered by your BC health card.

This service is currently available in BC. All consultations are free of charge for patients.

Please Note: Beginning April 15, 2021 we will no longer be issuing gym notes. This move has been made in the interest of public health given the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, the increasing risks posed to the public by COVID-19 variants, and the massive spike in hospital admissions.
