We are no longer doing “Annual Physicals”. We encourage all of our patients to read about this change here: We're rethinking the way we do the ANNUAL PHYSICAL (cfpc.ca) (website: The College of Family Physicians of Canada and Choosing Wisely Canada).
In its place, we are now using a customized approach to your health and booking 15 minute Periodic Health Reviews where you can have a conversation with your doctor about your overall health, renew medications, and ensure you are up to date with vaccines and screening tests such as pap smears, mammograms, and colon cancer screening etc. Your doctor will also let you know whether you need any other focused testing such as bloodwork based on your unique risk factors, health conditions, age, and lifestyle.
Please note if you ARE having any acute symptoms or new health concerns, this should NOT be booked as a periodic health review but as a regular appointment so your acute medical issue can be taken care of in a timely manner.
