Hello. My long time Doctor (I'm a male, as is he) decided to move his practice to Vancouver. He was great. A yearly physical lasted about 15 minutes, not counting blood work. Old school kind of Doc. If you walked in, could see out of one eye and cough, pretty much all good till next year. Anybody know of any Doctors like that still alive and taking new patients? Thanks!

dr benning at newmount senior or junior

is super as far as I'm concerned. She's right on top of the latest in medicine & thinks outside the box.  
 
Having said that, my husband used to go to her husband, Dr. Mikhail, but Dr. M screwed up big time with my husband who has an artificial heart valve which makes having tests like colonoscopies a bit tricky. Suffice it to say that my husband found another doctor (Dr. Turner) who knew the ins & outs of patients with artificial heart valves.  
 
My husband is extremely impressed with Dr. Turner so there's another suggestion for a doctor.

He’s a walk in clinic and technically does not have “ regular” patients. Walk in and wait your turn with no appointments just to clarify.

Well if all you care about is how quick you can get in and out and only being able to see out of one eye, cough, tickle etc. then I think Dr. Decter at Rosser Medical is your guy and I am sure he will take you as a patient. If you actually care about your health your physical should not be tied to a time limit or just ticking boxes. But hey its your body.

I believe Dr. Decter is retired.

My family has been here for 3 months, we are still looking for a family doctor. Pretty tough to find someone who checks off all the boxes.

Nah he's still working...
