Online Sick Note Hamilton — Same Day, No Clinic Visit
Hamilton's healthcare system is stretched thin. Walk-in clinic waits are long, and many residents lack a family doctor. MedLetter provides Hamilton residents with fast, physician-reviewed medical documentation — issued only when clinically appropriate.
How It Works
Step 1: Submit Your Secure Request - Complete a brief clinical intake form describing your symptoms, dates of absence, and documentation needs. Your information is encrypted and confidential.
Step 2: Physician Review - A CPSO-registered physician reviews your request. If clinically appropriate, your letter is prepared. If additional information is needed, you may be asked to complete a brief audio or video assessment.
Step 3: Receive Your Documentation - Your signed medical letter is delivered to your email as a secure PDF. Most letters are delivered within 6 hours.
