One of the basic steps to do once you get the card OHIP, you will find a family doctor , also said General Practitioner (General Practitioner ) or GP. In many regions of Canada to find a General Practitioner that accepts new patients, can be a difficult . Fortunately, in large cities like Toronto , Vancouver or Montreal this phenomenon is less heard. The family doctor here, is one who knows (or know) your health situation over the years. Many of the normal periodic check-ups are made at the doctor's office itself. Your doctor will have a record of your medical condition and treatment you had, is the one who knows more than you and your family. But how to find a family doctor? A service specifically designed for this need: Find Your Doctor ( Find a Doctor ) of the College of Surgeons and Surgeons' s Ontario. Just visit this link , enter basic information (type: doctors who accept new patients, city, language, etc.). and you'll get a list of doctors available in the area searched. There are also other ways to find a doctor, how to consult the yellow pages or ask friends and relatives if their doctors still accepting new patients . not advise you to wait to be sick to find a family doctor. The expectations for appointments can be long week! It may happen that in their area of \u200b\u200bresidence, you can not find a doctor who still accepting new patients. In that case, we must go to medical clinics, no appointment . These clinics have doctors, nurses and other health professionals. Many hospitals have their own clinics without an appointment for cases that are not public health emergencies. Some clinics have extended hours, so you can do una visita dal dottore la sera e anche durante il weekend . Una visita nelle Walk-In Medical Clinic non è mai come andare dal medico di famiglia, tuttavia, si riceve lo stesso attenzione da parte di un dottore. In genere, non c'è bisogno di appuntamento per queste cliniche, ma molto probabilmente le attese potrebbero prolungarsi per ore prima di vedere un dottore. Per trovare la più vicina clinica si può consultare le Pagine Gialle o ricercare su questo link la lista delle Walk-In Medical Clinic presenti in Ontario .
Dopo aver ricevuto la mia tessera OHIP mi sono faced the need to find a family doctor , and I must admit, not having a clue as by who leave, I got influenced by a number of factors that for nothing qualify the person I had chosen. Well I did my research for location, sex and languages. In the end, as it may seem logical guess, I found a doctor of Italian origins operating at 2 steps from my office. Frankly, I positively hit, I immediately set an appointment to do a complete control of my health, to be carried out directly at the studio. Meeting set for March 31 !
