Please note: if you require immediate medical attention or need to speak with a health-care professional right away, please contact Telehealth Ontario, or go to your nearest emergency department.
If you do not currently have a family doctor and would like to find one who practices at Women's College Hospital, please see the Family Practice Health Centre page of this website. Note that, with the exception of patients needing obstetrical care, we are not currently accepting new patients until further notice. We do not maintain a waiting list due to the volume of requests we receive for new patient appointments.
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has a website called Your Health Care Options where you can explore the different health-care choices available to you in your community.
Health Care Connect is a service to help you find a family doctor. The service connects you with physicians or nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients. If you don’t have a provider, you can register for the Health Care Connect program by calling 1-800-445-1822.
The Health Care Options Medical Services Directory, recommended by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, is a searchable database of walk-in and after hours clinics, urgent care centres, family health-care providers, general practitioners and emergency rooms. By entering your postal code you can find out the hours and services available in your community.
If you would like to search for a family physician doing obstetrics, or a specialist based at Women’s College Hospital, please see our WCH Physician Directory.
