GTA Doctors etc.
Hi, My family and I are moving to Markham/Whitchurch/Whitby area, depending on where we can find a good rental property. I was wondering what the situation is re getting a family dr in those areas? We have a wonderful dr here in NS but it is now really hard to find one here, we were lucky when we arrived 6 years ago.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

We had no trouble finding a doc in the two places we lived since moving here.
Although we have also used the walk in clinics too which worked out just fine too.

What I've found is that, if you go to a walk in clinic a couple of times, the doctor will ask to be your family doctor. I assume that's for financial reasons. The first walk in doctor who asked wasn't someone I really got on with so I declined, the second one suits me so I signed up. I haven't noticed a doctor shortage.

(Incidentally do doctors de-register you if you don't go? None of us have seen her since I had my 'suitable patient' interview)

Doc: Hello, I've not seen you for a while.
Patient: No, I've been ill.
