These days in Ontario, it is very difficult to find a family doctor. When we moved to Cambridge, we called a number of doctors before we found one that was taking new patients. Then we each had to fill out a medical history and wait while the doctor decided if she could take us.
Appointments are booked for specific times, but a one hour wait isn’t unusual, so remember to bring a book.
Since this was a new doctor, we were booked for a complete physical, including blood tests. Since I am over 50, I also had a bone density test, which is a special x-ray of your body while you are lying down.
What do you look for in a doctor?
