How do virtual men's health consultations work in Ontario?
Virtual men's health consultations in Ontario are private video or phone visits with a clinician that end with a personalized plan. At MAMBA Men's Clinics, you join from wherever you feel comfortable in Ontario.
You can start with the free Health Score, book a complimentary consult, or choose the optional $1 virtual consultation, which includes a personalized plan.
Why must you be in Ontario during the visit?
You must be in Ontario during the visit because clinicians are licensed by province. A clinician licensed in Ontario provides care to patients who are in Ontario at the time of the call.
Your physical location during the visit is what counts. If you are on a work trip to Quebec or a holiday in Florida, the team can move your appointment to a day you are back in Ontario.
How do you prepare for a virtual consult?
You prepare by finding a private spot and jotting down what you want to talk about. Nothing else is needed to get started.
- Choose a quiet, private room with a steady connection.
- Write down your main concern and when you first noticed it.
- Note the questions you want answered.
- Keep your health card and photo ID nearby.
What happens during a MAMBA virtual consult?
During a MAMBA virtual consult, you talk through your concern in plain language and leave with clear next steps. The visit usually follows this order:
- The clinician confirms who you are and that you are in Ontario.
- You describe what has changed and what you want.
- The clinician asks about your history and goals.
- Together, you review the options that fit.
- You receive a personalized plan.
Many men find it easier to talk about erections, libido or hair from home.
What can a virtual plan lead to?
A virtual plan can lead to lab work near home, a prescription at your pharmacy, or a hands-on treatment at a participating clinic. Many follow-ups stay virtual.
| Next step | Where it happens |
|---|---|
| Lab requisition | A community lab near you |
| Prescription, when appropriate | An Ontario pharmacy of your choice |
| Hands-on treatment | The Oshawa or Kitchener clinic |
| Follow-up | Usually virtual |
For in-clinic treatments such as focused shockwave for ED, your plan points you to the clinic at 50 Colborne St E, Oshawa, or 1 Victoria St South, Unit 2, Kitchener. Men in Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton and London can read about virtual care in their cities.
How do I book a complimentary consult with MAMBA?
You can book a complimentary consult online or by calling or texting 647-947-0605. You can also take the free MAMBA Health Score, a general wellness screening that takes about 2 minutes, before you book.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a webcam for a virtual men's health consult?
A camera is helpful for a virtual men's health consult, especially for skin or hair topics where the clinician wants to see the area. Some MAMBA conversations can happen by phone only, and the team tells you which suits your visit.
Is a virtual visit as private as an office visit?
Yes. Ontario clinicians must protect your health information whether a visit is virtual or in person. Choosing a private room and your own device helps keep a MAMBA virtual visit just as confidential as a clinic visit.
Can I bring my partner onto a virtual consult?
Yes. Men can bring a partner onto a MAMBA virtual consult if they want to. Some men find a partner helps explain what has changed, and you can still ask to speak with the clinician alone.
What if my internet drops during a virtual consult?
If your internet drops during a MAMBA virtual consult, the clinician usually tries to reconnect or switches to a phone call. Keeping your phone nearby and your number up to date helps the visit continue smoothly.
