Avee Health: A reliable solution for B.C.’s primary care crisis

In British Columbia, timely access to primary care remains one of the biggest challenges facing residents.

With family doctor waitlists stretching for weeks or months and emergency rooms overflowing with patients seeking routine care, many British Columbians are struggling to get the medical attention they need.

Enter Avee Health, a telehealth platform in B.C. that has seen extraordinary adoption across the province. With over 550,000 successful appointments completed by nearly 300,000 citizens, Avee Health is rapidly becoming a go-to solution for primary care in British Columbia.

Addressing a provincial healthcare challenge

The shortage of licensed family physicians is felt throughout B.C., but it hits hardest in rural and remote areas where patients may travel long distances for even basic care.

At the same time, hospital emergency departments are crowded with individuals who simply need a prescription renewal or minor medical advice — situations that strain the system and lead to longer waits for urgent cases.

A doctor-led community response

Avee Health is an online platform that connects patients with licensed B.C. physicians and nurse practitioners for virtual primary care. The service has earned strong backing from the medical community, with 253 registered doctors and growing demand from additional physicians eager to join.

By partnering with over 723 pharmacies across the province, Avee creates a complete care loop — from virtual consultation to convenient medication pickup at your local pharmacy. Many see it as a collective effort by B.C.’s healthcare professionals to tackle the doctor shortage head-on.

Importantly, Avee Health is fully covered by MSP for eligible residents with a valid B.C. health card. Patients pay no extra fees for covered services.

What patients are saying

The platform’s high patient satisfaction is clear from its 4.9-star rating on Google based on thousands of reviews. British Columbians consistently praise its convenience, speed, and quality of care.

One reviewer shared: “I was able to get an appointment the same day and the doctor was incredibly helpful. No more sitting in a walk-in clinic for hours!”

Many patients highlight how Avee has reduced stress around healthcare access: “As a busy parent, being able to speak to a doctor from home without missing work has been a lifesaver.”

Whether in Metro Vancouver or smaller communities, residents appreciate skipping crowded waiting rooms while still receiving professional care from licensed local providers.
