FAQ

We are a technology company that enables Canadians to easily get healthcare when they need it the most but are unable to or it is not convenient for them to make a trip to their family doctor. We connect you with licensed doctors who will come to your house to give you and your family the care that you need.
Anyone who wishes to stay in the comfort of their own home in order to get medical care can use MedHouseCall. At times it is inconvenient for people to take young kids or the elderly to their family doctor or to the walk-in clinic because they are not feeling well. Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day to spend sitting in a waiting room, or you just aren’t feeling well enough to get out of the house.
