Same thing here in Ottawa. Was forced to use a walk-in clinic the other day and the doc I saw there was absolutely horrendous. This article may or may not help. Good luck!

We experienced the very same problem when we lived in SW Ontario! I believe the GP shortage in Ontario is really bad. We were lucky though because our next door neighbour put a good word in at her surgery and we managed to get accepted. - having said that, the GP himself turned out to be a complete ass, but at least we had our own Dr.
