A family doctor helps you manage today’s concerns while keeping your longer-term health in view. Warden Wood Health Centre has locations in Markham, Scarborough and Newmarket. Contact your preferred branch about family-practice availability, registration and which physicians are accepting patients.

What family medicine includes

Primary care can address common illnesses, ongoing symptoms, medication management and chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. It also includes preventive care, immunization reviews, age-appropriate screening and referrals when needed.

An ongoing relationship allows your clinician to understand your history, notice changes and coordinate recommendations from other health professionals.

Getting started with a family doctor

Ask about the registration process and any initial appointment requirements. Bring a medication list, major diagnoses, surgeries, allergies and your previous provider’s details. Relevant records can help avoid duplicate testing and support safer decisions.

Your first appointment may focus on your health history, immediate priorities and a follow-up plan. A new-patient visit is not necessarily a comprehensive physical examination or a chance to resolve every concern at once.

Ongoing care and follow-up

Clarify how to book follow-ups, request renewals, receive results and obtain after-hours advice. If you receive care elsewhere, sharing information with your regular provider helps maintain continuity.
