Minor Injury, Concussion, Sprain, or Strain

If a Pediatrician or Pediatric Specialist cannot help you virtually, we will make every effort to direct you to the appropriate in-person care for your kid.
KixCare visits are always attended by our expert-selected Pediatricians.
For Pediatric Specialist services, our community includes kids-focused mental health providers, concussion treatment specialists, sleep consultants, lactation consultants, dieticians & nutritionists, physiotherapists, speech-language pathologists, and more.
After booking an appointment, you will always be matched to a provider that is licensed to practice in your region.
KixCare doctors are equipped to write prescriptions and provide referrals for lab work, in-person care, or Pediatric Specialist services.
If you know the type of specialized care that your kid needs, you can book an appointment with a Pediatric Specialist without a referral. We are working to add more direct services through our platform every day!
We understand that family doctors may not always be available, so we welcome patients who need care outside of visits with their regular provider. We do not want to replace your trusted family doctor but hope to increase access to quality doctors for all Canadian kids!
Virtual care, sometimes called telehealth or telemedicine, is an emerging method for increasing public access to healthcare and is supported by the provincial and federal government throughout Canada. Virtual care includes healthcare delivery through audio, video, or text communications, removing many traditional barriers to healthcare.
