Full Service Family Physicians in the Comox Valley
We are family doctors providing full service care to registered patients. Conveniently located at the corner of Ryan and Lerwick, across from the Comox Valley Hospital, our brand-new location is accessible and welcoming.
Our goal is to ensure quality health care for every patient. We offer same-day appointments, so that you can be seen the day you need us. You can also pre-book for a future appointment time that works best for you. We care for our patients in hospital, and offer house calls when needed.
Two of our physicians are pleased to offer care in both English and French.
