The cornerstone of Physimed’s Family Medicine unit is based on the continuity of care of patients by their family doctor.
At Physimed, we believe that the patients benefit most in the long run from a close relationship with their family doctor. This is why we try, whenever possible, to assign a family physician for each patient who wishes to be followed up at our clinic.
A relation between you and the family doctor is first established during a medical check-up, which allows the doctor to have a global overview of your health. Subsequently, he is in a better position to establish a plan of investigations or treatment, if necessary.
If you need to consult a doctor and your family physician assigned to you at Physimed is not available, we have a walk-in clinic for consultations without appointment which is open extended hours, 7 days a week, allowing you to see one of our doctors for your urgent needs.
Considering that all information related to your health is kept within a unique medical file per patient, to which all our health professionals have access, the doctor on call at the walk-in clinic will be better able you help you and even, if necessary, to directly communicate with your own doctor at Physimed to let him know of your condition.
Our goal is to ensure that our patients do not get lost in the maze of Quebec's health system by visiting various clinics or emergency rooms of hospitals. Therefore, Physimed’s patients have access to a family doctor 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
The practice of family medicine at Physimed aims at an equilibrium between the preventive and the curative approaches. With our periodic medical check-up program, we are able to assess your lifestyle habits and to identify your risk factors in order to correct or even eliminate them. We also encourage screening and early detection of diseases and cancers with our state-of-the-art technology using protocols supported by the evidence-based medicine guidelines.
In addition to the accessibility and the continuity of services in family medicine, we have also developed the Patient Assistance Services to meet our clients’ requests that go beyond the setting of a medical visit. Our Patient Assistance Services agents will be happy to assist you with your requests concerning: the renewal of prescriptions, certain test results, the completion of forms, etc.
Furthermore, you will benefit from a global and coordinated personalized care due to the ongoing collaboration between the family doctors and the multidisciplinary medical and paramedical team (psychologists, dieticians, physiotherapists, etc.) available on-site, who have direct access to your medical file.
Besides, Physimed works with a common logistic across all its departments (the same phone system, the same computer system, etc.) which greatly facilitates the appointment scheduling and the coordination of the visits.
