Welcome to Find a Doctor BC
A website dedicated to helping patients help each other
find family practitioners accepting new patients in BC.
Since 2019, Find a Doctor BC has been the website to find family practitioners accepting new patients in BC
How it works
The website works by providing the name, location, contact information and accepting status for every clinic providing family practitioner services in BC. These are displayed in a clear and consistent manner.
Patients actively looking for a family doctor can use this information to easily see which doctors might be accepting new patients in their area. If there are none, prospective patients can call clinics that interest them to check if their status has changed, and then easily report their findings to help others.
We cover 880 family clinics in BC, representing over 4,000 family physicians and nurse practitioners.

Since starting in 2019, thousands of British Columbians have used the findadoctorbc.ca notification service to help them find a family doctor. Here is what some of them are saying.
After hearing how hard it would be to find a Dr. after our move to the island, I was so surprised and grateful that your service found one for us after just a few months – best $15 I ever spent! I never would have been able to do this so quickly on my own.
Thank you! I have never had a family doctor and was trying to find one for 6 years. I signed up for your service and found a doctor within the first 2 months. I cannot say thank you enough – this changed my life.
Many thanks. I would never have known about the doctor accepting new patients without your email notice.
Thanks for providing this service. It was a huge help in finding a Dr/NP. Not sure how I would have done it otherwise.
