magenta health family physicians

Background

All family physicians at Magenta Health are highly trained and educated professionals who have dedicated their professional lives to caring for the health and well-being of members of their community. In general, each Magenta Health physician has had at least 10 years of post-secondary education wherein they were exposed to and trained in a wide variety of subjects, and provided care and treatment to patients of all ages, genders, and walks of life. Each physician has also gone through an internal vetting process to ensure the excellence of their care and bedside manner.

Accordingly, all Magenta Health physicians are fully qualified to provide primary care to men, women (including expectant mothers), seniors, children, and infants. Where appropriate, referrals are made to outside physicians who have specialized in certain medical issues or procedures.

our organizational principles

As an organization, we believe in and promote equality and respect for all. Our physicians, staff, and patients come from a diverse range of backgrounds spanning cultural and ethnic origin, social-economic status, sexual orientation, and other aspects of identity.

Consequently, we do not assign patients to physicians taking into account factors such as age, ethnicity, or gender. Much the opposite, we strive to ignore these factors as diversity is a strength to be celebrated and promoted. Our physicians have a shared desire to provide care to a diverse patient population - this is why they practice in our publicly funded health care system, and how they remain excellent family doctors.

Choosing a specific physician

We do understand and appreciate that for religious, cultural, or other personal reasons, some patients may prefer a particular type of family physician. This is most frequently the case where patients may strongly prefer a physician of a particular gender.

Physicians may also have different levels of availability. Early in starting a practice, physicians can accept up to a hundred new patients a month; later in practice, physicians may only accept a handful of new patients a month.

The links below therefore enable you to schedule an intake appointment with any physician who is accepting patients in the ordinary course. You will be able to see all available appointments, and book with the right option for you. There’s also information for how to request a link to book with our other / unlisted physicians.


March 6, 2022 Notice: Before using the links below, please know the physician team is only able to accept a limited number of patients monthly and, unfortunately, patient demand is greatly exceeding our capacity. Statistics and more details are available here.

As we no longer maintain a first-come first-served waiting list (learn more), this means people are finding they need to regularly check our online scheduling system for several months before they are able to successfully book an intake appointment.

If you currently do not have a family doctor, we highly recommend you check with other clinics in addition to Magenta Health.

Our sincere apologies; we wish we had the capacity to provide more care to our community.

Note: It is not an option to switch physicians after your initial intake appointment nor to see a different Magenta Health physician for only some concerns. We discuss in detail the reasons here and here.
