Finding a family doctor
I am trying to understand the most useful first steps in Winnipeg. I would appreciate recent experiences, especially when the clinic or program was contacted.
Call before travelling because intake status and hours can change quickly
I would ask whether the clinic has a cancellation list and when they recommend checking again
I had better luck calling early in the day, although availability varies by clinic.
I saved confirmation numbers and copies of forms so I could follow up without starting over.
ask whether the clinic accepts online forms, phone intake or both, and when the information was last updated
A local settlement agency or community centre may be able to explain the provincial steps without providing medical advice.
