Find doctors accepting new patients now

Since 2019, Find a Doctor BC has been the website to find family practitioners accepting new patients in BC

How it works

The website works by providing the name, location, contact information and accepting status for every clinic providing family practitioner services in BC. These are displayed in a clear and consistent manner.

Patients actively looking for a family doctor can use this information to easily see which doctors might be accepting new patients in their area. If there are none, prospective patients can call clinics that interest them to check if their status has changed, and then easily report their findings to help others.  

We cover 880 family clinics in BC, representing over 4,000 family physicians and nurse practitioners.
