No, we currently do not have any physicians taking on new patients. Please note that there is a Sunshine Coast wide wait list that can be registered under this link: healthlinkbc.ca/health-connect-registry or by calling 1-844-801-1119.

If we have seen you within the last few months or you forgot to ask for a prescription refill at your recent appointment we will be happy to refill your medications with a request from yourself or your pharmacy.

If it has been longer than 3 months since we have seen you, we will likely ask you to come in or have a phone appointment to discuss a medication refill. This is because most medications require some sort of regular monitoring. (For ex.: Your blood pressure should be monitored every 6 months. There are certain blood tests that should be monitored on a regular basis while you are taking certain medications.) We have likely given you a prescription length that coincides with this need for monitoring. Please note that all opiate and benzodiazepine prescription refills need to be made in person ONLY and by your primary provider other than in exceptional circumstances.

Pharmacies are also able to renew certain medications and are often able to give an emergency supply while you are waiting for an appointment with your physician.

Please note that our Medical Office Assistants (MOAs) are not allowed to give results over the phone unless they have been given specific instructions by the physician to do so. If you have not heard from us, then please book an appointment to review your results. E-health is another option to view your own lab results online.

We do this for many reasons. For children their weight is often very important in determining the correct medication dose or monitoring side effects of a medication. Later in life it becomes important in chronic health conditions such as heart failure or in monitoring trends. It is often very helpful for patients to be able to look back and follow their weight patterns over the last few years.

Once you have found a new family physician go to their office and sign a patient release form and have them fax this Chart request to us. We will gladly fax your chart to your new physician.

There is a charge for this as per our billing guide. $36.65 plus photocopy fees. CDs are also charged extra.

Doctors of BC recommends a ‘Complete Physical” on a yearly basis only for patients with Chronic Health Conditions (High blood pressure, Heart Failure, Diabetes, COPD, previous cancer etc.). If you are otherwise healthy it is recommended that we do “focused exams” based on any symptoms that you are experiencing. This recommendation was based on evidence that doing “Complete Physicals” on healthy individuals shows no benefit in their health.

You must come into the clinic to pick up a TAP form for any specialist appointments. These can not be emailed or faxed to you and can not be prepared over the phone. Thank you.
