Find Ontario Family Doctors
I recently needed to find a family doctor for a relative who had just moved to a new home in Ontario, Canada. I eventually found an incredibly useful website designed just for that purpose.
The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Ontario have made it easy to FIND A FAMILY DOCTOR. You provide your preference of male or female doctor and a postal code (or select from a dropdown of town names). In reply, you are given a list of doctors in the specified region that are accepting new patients. You are able to review their educational & medical credentials, such as which university they attended, their graduation date, their medical specialties, their hospital affiliation, office phone numbers, etc. All factors that can help you pick a doctor who is 'right' for you.
And if you already have a doctor, it can be enlightening to check them out too!
