HOW TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
Please be aware that patients must register for ALL appointments by telephone. Please do NOT come in person to the clinic unless instructed to do so by one of our doctors or staff members. Our staff will register you via phone and set you up with either a telephone or in-person appointment based on your need and the availability. Please be aware that our phone lines are busy as we work through these unprecedented times. If you can’t get through, please wait a few moments and try to call us again. Our staff are doing our absolute best to answer an overwhelming amount of phone calls in a timely manner. Your patience is greatly appreciated. We book same day appointments only so please ensure you try to call early if you are needing an appointment. Please read our “COVID-19 Patient Safety” page for information on what we are doing to protect our patients. We appreciate your understanding and patience. Please note we screen any patients that enter our clinic for COVID-19, therefore our doors remain locked at this time. If our staff have asked you to attend the clinic for an appointment, please knock and someone will be with you shortly.
We regret, that due to the shortage of family physicians, we no longer have family practices on site.
We are a same-day only point of access to primary care. Patients register by phone and are seen in the order in which they register. Please note, in the case of an emergency our MOAs may triage patients ahead of you.

COVID-19
Please be aware that you must register for ALL appointments via telephone. We will not register you to speak with or see a doctor if you arrive in person without being instructed to do so by one of our staff. If you are experiencing respiratory symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing), please self-isolate. Please stay at home, unless in the case of an emergency, even if 811 has advised you to attend a clinic. You can call our clinic at 250-592-8485 so we can set you up with a telephone with one of our doctors. We appreciate your understanding and co-operation.
This is certainly an emotional time, and while you may be healthy and without symptoms, social distancing is about protecting your loved ones, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. If you do have symptoms (cough, fever, shortness of breath, etc), these could be symptoms of COVID-19, seasonal influenza or a cold. Either way, the safest approach is to self-isolate and take a COVID-19 test. There is also an online COVID-19 screening tool you can utilize, found here.
For ALL questions around COVID-19, please visit the BC Centre of Disease Control website or the Island Health website for the most up to date information. Thank you for respecting our staff’s time so that we can deal with the ongoing demand for healthcare in this difficult time. We will continue to update our website as necessary.
