Booking Your Appointment

You can now book all of our visit types online. To help us give every patient the time they need, please choose the appointment type that best matches your reason for visiting. Visit lengths differ by appointment type, and selecting the most appropriate one keeps the clinic running on time for you and everyone else.

In-office visits take place at the clinic and are needed for anything involving a physical exam, procedure, immunization, or forms. Televisits are telephone appointments — your physician calls you — ideal for reviewing results, prescription refills, and concerns that don't require an exam. Many concerns can be handled either way; use your own discretion, and if your physician feels an in-person assessment is needed, they will let you know during your call.

Appointment types and visit lengths vary slightly by physician. Select your physician below to see the options available to you. Dr. Desai-Ranchod is now semi-retired and does not keep a regular schedule; she continues to support the clinic and provides coverage when our physicians are away. If you have questions about your care, please call the clinic at (604) 834-9001.
