Women generally prefer to have a female family doctor. However, it is not easy to find a female family doctor that accepts new patients. Some women have told us that although their male family doctor is very good, they often feel embarrassed when they need a PAP test, a breast examination or just to ask questions related to their menstrual period.
Some patients wonder if they could just get their annual physical check-up with a female doctor and then return to their usual family doctor afterwards. This might be difficult to do, as “walk-in” doctors may not do an annual physical check-up and many of the female family doctors are not accepting new patients.
There is good news! Starting in March, there will be a female family doctor accepting new patients at South Unionville Square (Kennedy Road/Castan Ave, South of Hwy 7). If you are looking for a female family doctor, call us now at 905-305-0111 and we can give you more detail on how to register!
有些病人想知道她們是否可以只讓女醫生幫她做身體檢查，然後到她平常的家庭醫生看病。由於“無需預約”的醫生（”Walk-in” doctors）是不做週年的身體檢查，而女性家庭醫生往往不接受新病人了, 所以如果只是為女性的健康問題看一次女醫生是很難做到的。
