| For Patients
The Queen’s Family Health Team is currently accepting new patients. If you are in need of a family doctor, please visit us at 220 Bagot St. The receptionist will direct you to an available physician and you can fill out a new patient form and book an introductory appointment with your new family doctor. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, please speak to someone at our clinic at 613-533-9303.
Patients can book appointments in person or by telephone. To book an appointment in person, speak to your clinic’s receptionist to schedule a convenient time. If you would like to book an appointment over the telephone, please contact us at 613 533-9303 and follow the telephone prompts.
What to bring to an appointment
1. A valid health card – the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care requires that we verify your health card at each visit (i.e. your OHIP, UHIP or other provincial health card) 2. The yellow immunization record (if being administered an immunization or flu shot) 3. Medications – please bring in the original containers, particularly if they have been prescribed by someone other than your family doctor (i.e. a specialist). This helps ensure Remember to arrive five to 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment to allow time to complete any forms or to update your record.
Medication record and appointment checklist At each visit, we ask patients to review their medication list (to make sure that we have the most up-to-date version in our records) and to complete an "appointment checklist." The appointment checklist provides prompts for common preventative screening (i.e. breast and colorectal cancer screening and immunizations) and health issues (i.e. diet and nutrition, stroke prevention, quitting smoking and skin checks) so that we can make the most of your appointment time. This also helps our resident physicians with how to structure an appointment and how to allocate time appropriately so that we are able to cover as much as possible with each patient. You may also find that this checklist helps you to remember other issues or questions that you might want to discuss.
If you have any questions about the medication list or the appointment checklist, please do not hesitate to ask your nurse.
