Our Story
Pandemic Beginnings
GetSkinHelp found its footing amid the Spring 2020 lockdown, when Dr. Colin Hong saw a surge in people coming in for skin cancer. Teaming up with entrepreneur, Keith Loo, the two began planning how to help patients right from their own homes.
From there, what started simply as an online skin cancer screening tool, has quickly amassed to become a company that covers a variety of skin conditions.
Connecting patients to doctors
One of the main issues in Canadian healthcare is the difficulty in finding a doctor and the long wait times to make an appointment. Tackling this issue, Dr. Hong and Keith created GetSkinHelp as a way for patients to easily access doctors without the frustrations of traditional healthcare avenues.
We aim to make finding physicians a quick and smooth process. All accessible from the comfort of your own home.

“I highly recommend Get Skin Help. It is so easy to use, and helping to stop the long wait times for Canadians! I am forever grateful.”

What patients have to say

Long gone are the days of stuffy dermatologist offices that you’ve had to wait months or years for, only to be dismissed and prescribed quickly a drug in a means to get you out of the room. This office is a breath of fresh air. Dr. Parikh and Dr. Yau are both super empathetic, they listen to your concerns, and are patient and friendly. Really appreciate this office being in north York, what a godsend it is to finally have an accessible means to getting skin issues addressed timely, efficiently, and with empathy.
