A Word on Walk-in Clinics
Registered patients are requested to avoid walk-in clinic use. Here's why:
​
Fragmented Care: Walk-in clinic use can lead to poor care as doctors lack access to your complete medical history, resulting in treatment gaps, medication errors, and missed preventive care opportunities. Our services maintain detailed medical records, including test results, treatment plans, and referrals, vital for providing you with comprehensive quality care.
​
Impact on Your Doctor's Pay: Using a walk-in clinic deducts the cost from your family doctor's income, making it unsustainable for us to continue providing care to patients who repeatedly use walk-in clinics instead of our services.
​
Appointment Options: Most appointments are now available for booking just one week in advance, with doctors reserving same-day slots for quicker access. If there's no availability, you'll be directed to our After-Hours Urgent FHO Clinic.
​
Possibility of Discharge: Failure to comply with our request may result in discharge from our practice, as we value the continuity of care and personalized approach provided by our doctors.
​
​Your cooperation ensures better health outcomes for you and supports the sustainability of our clinic. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
