Omicron online clinic
Why choose Clinique Omicron as your online doctor in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region?
Bas-Saint-Laurent covers over 22,000 km² along the Saint Lawrence River, from Kamouraska to Matapédia. The distances between municipalities and hospitals—Rimouski, Rivière-du-Loup—are considerable for many residents. Several RCMs in the region, notably Matane, La Matapédia, Témiscouata, and Kamouraska, are among the most affected by the shortage of family doctors in Quebec. Clinique Omicron offers a complete and immediate medical solution without you having to travel dozens of kilometers.

A wide range of care can be provided remotely: general medical consultations, prescription renewals, medical tickets, chronic disease monitoring (diabetes, hypertension, asthma), mental health support (anxiety, depression, ADHD), STI screening, hormonal health, dermatology, nutrition and more. The professional will assess whether teleconsultation is appropriate for your situation and refer you if a physical examination is required.
Consultations are carried out by physicians and specialized nurse practitioners (SNPs) licensed in Quebec. SPNs hold a Master's degree in nursing and are authorized to diagnose, prescribe medication and order diagnostic tests within their field of practice. Depending on the nature of your consultation, you will be directed to the professional best suited to your needs.

If clinically justified, the physician or nurse practitioner can issue a prescription, renew a prescription, or write a medical note (sick note, school absence, insurance justification) during the consultation. Prescriptions are transmitted electronically to the pharmacy of your choice in the Bas-Saint-Laurent. Certain high-risk prescriptions may require further evaluation.
After booking your appointment online or by phone, you'll receive a secure link to join the video consultation at the agreed time.
