Welcome to Arbour Family Medicine
** NEW ONLINE BOOKING FOR NURSING + MD APPOINTMENTS **
Urgent/same day appointments with your provider can now be booked online for select providers. Examples of reasons for these appointments would include new rash, ear/eye/chest infections, or other acute illnesses.
**If you feel you need to be seen sooner or speak with someone please call our office**
Our office will now be using PatientServ to provide an accessible and hassle-free online platform for our patients to complete payments for uninsured services. There are different payment plan options also available.
We Are Not Accepting New Patients
Unfortunately, we are not accepting new patients. We also no longer offer travel medicine consultations. If you are looking for a family physician please visit Health Care Connect.
Barrier free STI testing
Patients can order HIV and STI testing kits online at getakit.ca with Ottawa Public Health and get them mailed to them. Please see website for eligibility.
Vaccines
Please visit OPH hubs for walk in locations for flu or covid vaccines
We have a limited supply of flu vaccines and will be offering flu shots to patients who already have an appointment for another reason in the office. Unfortunately we do not have capacity at this time to book appointments only for flu shots.
We recommend that patients 2 years old and older get their flu vaccine at their local pharmacy. Ottawa Public Health will also be offering flu shot clinics for families with children 5 years old and younger. Please visit their website for more information.
Ontario is also rolling out its first publicly funded vaccination program for the RSV vaccine, Arexvy, for those 60 yo and older living in long-term care homes, Elder Care Lodges, and for some retirement home residents. New changes will soon allow pharmacists to administer the vaccine, which will allow homes to hire pharmacists to administer the vaccine on site and help vulnerable populations receive their dose more conveniently without leaving their home.
More information is yet to come for those that do not fall under the above criteria and the cost is about $300. Please visit NACI.
We encourage patients to get the COVID vaccine every 6 months unless they have had a COVID infection in the last 6 months.

No Evidence for Annual Physical Exams
Ontario, like many jurisdictions, is following the evidence in no longer recommending annual physical exams. Instead, your doctor may recommend periodic health exams based on your age, risks and the tests you need. This approach is known to be more effective in promoting health and preventing disease.
We do recommend kids under 18 have check ups, and cancer patients that have been referred back to us for ongoing care once they are well.
Your doctor will want to see you if you are unwell, have a new medical concern, or for regular follow up for several medical conditions (for example reflux, depression, anxiety, diabetes, high blood pressure).
A preventative care appointment is usually not needed unless it has been a very long time since you have seen your doctor and you have not done any cancer screening recently.
