MedLetter vs Ontario Walk-In Clinics for Sick Notes
Ontario walk-in clinics have 3-5 hour average wait times. Here's how MedLetter compares for getting medical documentation.
Ontario walk-in clinics still make sense if you need a physical examination or prescription. But if all you need is documentation for work or school, MedLetter saves you 3-5 hours of waiting, eliminates travel, and delivers the same legally valid sick note - signed by a licensed Ontario physician - straight to your inbox. With Ontario's ongoing doctor shortage, many clinics are turning patients away or have multi-hour waits. MedLetter bypasses this entirely.
Advantages of MedLetter: No 3-5 hour wait in a crowded Ontario waiting room. No risk of catching something worse while you're already sick. No driving or taking transit when you feel terrible. Available from anywhere in Ontario - even communities without clinics. Digital PDF you can email directly to your employer or school. Available 24/7 - submit anytime, day or night. Flat $49 fee with no surprises (many clinics charge $20-50 for notes on top of OHIP). Same CPSO-registered physicians as walk-in clinics. Ontario's doctor shortage means many clinics are at capacity - MedLetter is always available.
