Finding a family doctor

I have several clinics to contact and want to keep the information current. What system has helped you track calls, waitlists and follow ups?

Ask whether the clinic accepts online forms, phone intake or both, and when the information was last updated

I found it useful to keep a dated list of every clinic or program contacted, including whether the answer was accepting, waitlist or not accepting.

I had better luck calling early in the day, although availability varies by clinic

Call before travelling because intake status and hours can change quickly.

The provincial registration page is a good starting point, and 211 may also know about local navigation supports.
