Update November 2021

We would like to thank you for your patience and welcome you back in the office as we are progressing to more in person appointments and fewer telephone appointments.

Flu Shots are available in a limited capacity.

Children may book an appointment directly with our nurse for flu shots.
All other patients are encouraged to get flu shots through community flu vaccination clinics or at your local pharmacy.
However, if you are seeing your physician for another medical issue and we have vaccines available at that time we would be happy to provide one to you.

Online booking is now available!

Patients may book basic in office appointments with their family doctor on line, as well as update demographics such as address, phone numbers, etc.

You will still need to call the office for urgent issues and to book appointments for complex matters, procedures, shots, paps, longer appointments, etc. and telephone appointments.
There is an initial set up required and you will need to provide our office with a current cell phone number and email address in order to register for online bookings. At that time we will provide you with a website address where you can then go to access the online booking system.

***All patients must have their own personal email address in order to set up an online booking account. The system does not allow patients to register using the same email address for multiple family members.
***Note, if you previously used our online booking system, you will need to register again.
***Unfortunately, patients of Dr. Barron will not be able to use the online booking system until his replacement takes over care next year.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Onome Ogona and Dr. Kimia Amyree to Wilson Centre Family Practice. As you know, we are a very busy office and they are here to help out and see patients should your family doctor be unavailable.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as both doctors and staff are doing their very best to accommodate appointment bookings in a timely manner.
Your assistance in managing your timelines would be appreciated.

Whenever possible, please book follow up appointments, paps, immunizations, etc in advance.
Prescription refills should be booked at two weeks in advance.

Just a couple of other reminders:

Patients are under the care of their specific doctor and not a patient of Wilson Centre Family Practice as a whole. In most circumstances appointments must be booked with your family doctor.
Telephone appointments are to be treated the same as an in office appointment. Our physicians have a dedicated time slot specifically for your telephone appointment and we ask that you please respect this time. If you do not answer your phone or show up for an in office appointment you may be billed a no show fee at your doctor’s discretion. Appointments are in high demand and a missed appointment is a time another patient could be receiving medical care.
To ensure your privacy, please schedule your telephone appointments at a time where you are in a quiet, private setting, not while you are working or driving a vehicle.
Wilson Centre Family Practice has a No Abuse Policy. Physical and verbal abuse, which includes screaming, swearing, and threats directed at doctors and staff will not be tolerated and you will be terminated from the clinic should this occur.

Thank you from all of us at Wiilson Centre Family Practice.

Clinic Policies

Appointments

Cancellations

Prescription Refills

For appointment bookings please call (604) 942-7227.

On line booking is also available. Please see the front desk to register.

Phone lines are busiest 8:00-10:00 am and 1:00-2:00 pm. For non urgent matters and to reduce your wait time on hold, we encourage you to phone outside these times.

If requesting a prescription, please try to bring a list of the medications you need refilled.

If you are following up regarding specific results, you may wish to confirm that these have been received prior to your appointment.

Please cancel your appointment 24 hours in advance to avoid a fee - $30 for 10 minute appointments or $50 for longer appointments including physicals, procedures and counselling.

With enough notice, we can offer the appointment to another patient and ensure all our appointment times are filled. This will help improve service to our patients by reducing how long our patients have to wait to see their doctor.

We do not refill prescriptions by phone or fax. Prescriptions are carefully timed to finish when follow up between a patient and physician is due. Please book an appointment if you require a prescription refill. In case of emergency, your pharmacist is able to provide an emergency supply.

Referrals

Results

Conduct

We are unable to accept phone referrals. If you require a referral, please book an appointment with your own doctor.

If a referral has been made by your doctor, your patience in receiving your appointment date is appreciated.

Unfortunately wait lists are long and, depending on the specialty, wait times to hear about your appointment can range from one week to many months.
Once the initial referral has been made you are welcome to call your specialist's office to inquire.

Please book an appointment with your doctor to discuss results. Our staff are unable to disclose results over the phone.

Our staff do their best to provide excellent care. Our clinic hosts 15 doctors and serves thousands of patients. While we understand that health care interactions can be frustrating, inappropriate behaviour towards our staff or clinic will not be tolerated and will result in discontinuation of care.
