Courtenay patients with thyroid, diabetes, PCOS, or hormone symptoms can book a virtual visit with a licensed doctor through TelePlus Care. The doctor reviews symptoms, orders labs such as TSH, A1C, or hormone panels through LifeLabs, starts or adjusts common medications, and refers to an endocrinologist when specialist care is needed. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.
- Virtual hormone and thyroid visit with a licensed doctor serving Courtenay and the Comox Valley
- Lab requisitions (TSH, A1C, hormone panels) sent to your nearest LifeLabs collection site in Courtenay
- Your intake helps the clinician understand your symptoms, history, and goals before the visit.

Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments go ahead only when a doctor agrees it is the right call, after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
Hormone and Endocrine Concerns We Assess for Courtenay Patients
Hormonal and metabolic problems can develop slowly and affect energy, weight, mood, and overall health. A TelePlus Care doctor can assess and manage many common concerns by video for patients across Courtenay and the Comox Valley. Book a virtual visit if you are dealing with any of the following:
- Suspected or known thyroid problems, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
- Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes management or follow-up

- Low testosterone symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, or low mood
- General hormone and metabolic concerns including unexplained weight changes
What an Online Endocrinology Visit Includes
Driving to a clinic in Courtenay or waiting months for a specialist referral can delay care for thyroid and hormone concerns. A virtual visit connects you with a licensed doctor who reviews your history, discusses your symptoms, and builds a plan with you. When blood work is needed, the doctor sends a requisition to the LifeLabs collection site nearest you in Courtenay, so testing such as TSH, A1C, or hormone panels is convenient.

Supported pharmacy chains across the Comox Valley include Shoppers Drug Mart, Save-On-Foods Pharmacy, Pharmasave, London Drugs, and independent neighbourhood pharmacies.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care in Courtenay
Virtual care suits many stable hormone and thyroid concerns, but some symptoms need urgent in-person assessment. Go to the emergency department at North Island Hospital Comox Valley, or call 911, if you have any of the following:
- Signs of very high or very low blood sugar, such as confusion, fainting, or severe shakiness
- Thyroid storm symptoms such as high fever, racing heart, and confusion
- Severe dehydration, persistent vomiting, or inability to keep fluids down

When We Refer Courtenay Patients to an Endocrinologist
TelePlus Care doctors manage many common hormone and metabolic concerns, but they are not specialist endocrinologists. When your situation calls for specialist expertise, the doctor arranges a referral and helps coordinate your next steps. Cases typically referred to an endocrinologist include:
- Complicated or unstable thyroid disease, including thyroid nodules needing investigation
- Type 1 diabetes and complex insulin management
- Suspected pituitary, adrenal, or other endocrine gland disorders
- Suspected endocrine tumours or abnormal imaging findings
- Hormone problems that do not respond to initial treatment
