Regular Appointments
Patients are encouraged to book appointments with their family physician, especially for issues related to chronic problems. However, the physicians in the clinic have a very collegial relationship and will try to accommodate patients of other physicians for urgent matters, as necessary.
Same-Day Appointments
We usually set aside a few appointments daily for acute issues. Our goal is to minimize the need for visits to walk-in or urgent care clinics. It is recommended to call earlier in the day to access these appointments. We kindly request that patients do not request these appointments for non-urgent issues, including prescription refills.
Things to Keep in Mind
Things to Keep in Mind
Please try and book for concerns as they arise. It is often challenging for physicians to address multiple issues adequately in one appointment. If you have a list of concerns that cannot be properly addressed in the booked appointment time, please be understanding if you are asked to book another appointment to allow us to thoroughly address all your issues.
At Sunset Ridge Medical Clinic in Cochrane, Alberta, we have an Electronic Medical Record (EMR). In a situation where you end up being seen by a physician other than your regular family doctor, the physician will have access to your medical history, including medications. Additionally, your regular physician will have a record of what was discussed or done with the other physician.
