Don't have a Family Doctor?

... We are now accept family practice patients

Due to severe shortage of Family Physicians we accept a limited number of patients into our Family Practice group. 

Our Flexible Access Care model will provide the medical care you need at the time you need it.  You will not be required to wait for days to see  a doctor.  You will have 7 day a week walk-in access to our Family Practice group at our Niagara Falls Clinic. Please talk to our receptionist when you come to see if we are currently accepting applications.

For continuity of care reasons, patients accepted into the Family Practice will be expected to receive all their primary medical care at the UCN clinic they register with.  We encourage you to continue to use the Hospital Emergency Room for life or limb threatening emergencies. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Urgent Care Niagara - Family Practice

Will I see the same doctor on each visit?

With the Flexible Access Care approach to Family Practice you will be provided care by all the physicians in our group.  All the physicians will work with and have access to your entire medical chart at the clinic.  You will be able to see the physician(s) who is scheduled to work at the time of your visit.  We feel with the physician group approach this will provide continuity of care for you even if one of our physicians is on vacation, retires or moves to another city.

Will I have to wait for days or even weeks to book an appointment to see a doctor?

NO! Rather than wait for days to get an appointment for an acute illness, we feel with Flexible Access Care you can decide when you need medical care. We will continue to provide care on a walk-in basis. Our job as physicians is to do our best to see you the same day and on a timely manner.  Please note that no medications will be renewed on the phone.  We will be happy to renew your medications during your regular visits.

Can I get my medical records                                          transferred from my previous doctor?

It is important to have access to all relevant past medical records.      We are on a state of the art fully computerized medical record system.  Your records generated after each visit with us will be on your computerized chart at our clinic.  These records can be accessed or printed out for any of your visits or to refer you to a specialist as needed.

We will facilitate transfer of your records from your previous physician.  Once received you will be the custodian of your old records and when needed you will be asked by one of the physicians to bring your old medical records to the clinic.
