Need a Doctor?

The Physicians of the Owen Sound Medical Associates and the Georgian Bay Practice Associates
are not currently accepting new patients at this time. 

Obtaining a doctor at our office:

You must register on Health Care Connect (1-800-445-1822).

This is a program that helps you find a doctor or nurse practitioner if you don’t have one.

You can only change family health care providers after you leave your current family health care provider and are no longer on their patient list.

Once you are on this list, when our doctors are accepting patients, they are taken from the registered applicants given to our office from Health Care Connect.

If you do not have a doctor:

If it is an Emergency call 911

For all other medical needs go to your nearest Walk-in-clinic or Emergency Room.
