Primary care doctors in South Georgian Bay are currently being supported by the South Georgian Bay Ontario Health Team (SGB OHT) to offer their patients online booking. This allows patients to book appointments quickly and easily access health care in the community.
“The pandemic really exposed the need to have digital health options in place. With online booking, residents in South Georgian Bay now have a really easy way to book a doctor’s appointment and receive reminders about their appointments,” says Dr. James Lane, Family Physician with Stayner Medical Centre and Digital Lead for the South Georgian Bay Ontario Health Team. “This is a really great way to make it even easier for our patients to book their appointments and access the care they need. As a family doctor in our community, I have received a lot of positive feedback from my patients. I encourage all residents in South Georgian Bay to try online bookings; it’s easy and convenient.”
Many doctors in South Georgian Bay are already using online booking with their patients. If your doctor is not currently offering this option, the SGB OHT encourages you to ask about it next time you are booking an appointment. More information about online booking, including online booking links for those doctors offering it, is available through this link: www.southgeorgianbayoht.ca/online-bookings
If you need support, you can dial 2-1-1 (24/7 bilingual helpline) for assistance with booking an online appointment.
