Doctors in Perth, Canada

Nurse Practioners are GREAT

Good luck Sarah My girlfriend has been without a family doctor since Greg Healey left over 10 years ago, and has been on the waiting list for a nurse practitioner for over a year. BTW something people don't realize is that although Nurse Practitioners are great they are limited in what they can prescribe, so depending on your families medical history they may not work for everyone. I do know that some Family physicians will automatically take family members, so try going that route if your Dad has a doctor in town. If nothing else get on a waiting list, and don't give up your present family physician until you get another one. The other option is to check out the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons website and see who is accepting patients in the area. That is how we found our family doctor. The website also shows what year each doctor you are considering graduated. My best advice is try and find someone young as there is a better chance they "may" last longer (assuming they don't move)

We are new to the area. Most waiting lists in town are maybe about a year. There is a new one in Brockville as well as Dr Kuchinad in Perth. We went to Perth and have been pleased with his services so far.

I apologize Sarah... I just went on the website for the College of Physicians and Surgeons and discovered it no longer shows who is or isn't accepting new patients. I have no idea when they changed it. Craziness I say... I did find this though http://health.gov.on.ca/en/ms/healthcareconnect/public/overview.aspx
