Finding a family doctor

I am trying to understand the most useful first steps in Ottawa. I would appreciate recent experiences, especially when the clinic or program was contacted.

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 saved confirmation numbers and copies of forms so I could follow up without starting over.

For urgent symptoms, contact 811 or emergency services rather than waiting for a community reply
