Routine Appointments

A routine appointment can be pre-booked for any general health concern. Most routine appointments are 10-15 minutes in length, and can safely manage one or two issues.

 

Same-Day Appointments

We save appointments each day to ensure you can get access to one of our doctors. These appointments are reserved for one issue, no matter how big or small.

NEW: Book your same-day appointment online!

 

Physicals

Do you need a physical? People with chronic health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or kidney disease are recommended to have an annual physical examination with their doctor. Driver's physicals or workplace examinations are available at an extra charge.

 

Maternity Care

We are dedicated to providing care to pregnant women and their families, including delivery and postnatal care. Drs Sandwith and Watters accept referrals for pregnancy care from other family doctors in the Comox Valley and elsewhere on Vancouver Island. Drs Sandwith and Watters share maternity coverage with the Highland Maternity Group.

 

Women's Health

We offer PAP tests, contraceptive counselling, intrauterine device (IUD) insertion, and endometrial biopsies.

 

Injections

Routine injections (B12, injectable contraception) are available in our clinic. We do not stock vaccines, but will help connect you to a local pharmacy, or the Public Health Unit. Routine joint injections are available.

 

Non-Insured Services

Most of our services are covered under the BC Medical Services Plan. However, some common items are not covered under MSP, including: driver's physicals, medical notes, and forms. Fees for these items are set according to the Doctors of BC Guide.

 

Cancellations

Please call at least 4 hours before your appointment if you are unable to attend.

Lack of notification or a no-show is subject to a $35 fee.
