Do I need a family doctor in Woolford to get a sick note?
No. MedLetter doesn't require an existing family doctor. Many Woolford residents don't have a family physician due to the rural physician shortage. Our CPSA-registered physicians can issue sick notes without a prior patient relationship.

Common conditions include cold/flu, stomach flu, migraine, back pain, anxiety, depression, COVID-19, minor injuries, menstrual pain, and insomnia. If your condition prevents you from working safely, you likely qualify.
How much does an online sick note cost for Woolford residents?
