I can’t recommend Doc Alerts enough. Like many people, I had been hearing for years about how difficult it is to find a family doctor. I signed up for Doc Alerts and soon received a notification about a clinic in Ottawa that was accepting new patients. Around that same time, my dad told me that his wife had recently been injured and still didn’t have a family doctor. I shared the Doc Alerts notification with them, and they visited the clinic the very next day. Thanks to that alert, she was successfully onboarded and now has a family doctor.

Testimonials
They were searching.
Now they have a doctor.
I signed up for the provincial service and waited months just for them to acknowledge my signup. With Docalerts.com, I was quickly notified about family doctor openings in my area, able to review different options, and even secured an appointment within just two weeks. Thanks to them, I now have a family doctor!
