Taking Charge of Your Own Health
We encourage self-education and research as you are an active partner in your own health management. Feel free to bring in any information, books, print-outs or products that you would like to discuss during your visit. Students & Residents
We are a UBC teaching site, so you will occasionally be asked to see medical students or resident doctors. You are however under no obligation to see them and all medical care is still directed by Dr. van Eeden. Simply notify the staff or the students themselves if you wish to only see Dr. van Eeden. You can also request the staff to indicate this on your chart. The students appreciate your willingness to be part of their education and you can help us shape the doctors of the future. After Hours
After hours access to a physician on call is obtained by calling the office number and following the recorded directions. As this service is not covered by MSP, the on-call physician may bill you a charge for the phone consultation. You can also call the Nurses’ Hotline, free of charge, at (604) 215-4700. |
