For urgent issues which cannot wait until the office is next open, please call 604-739-9881 extension 108 to speak to the doctor on call. The four doctors at Chaldecott Medical Clinic share the responsibility of covering your after hours questions as a service to our patients. We ask that you respect our time with our families and only contact us for urgent problems that cannot wait until the next business day.

The majority of patients do not need a complete annual physical exam and MSP does not cover routine physicals for healthy patients. Your doctor might recommend a physical exam as part of the investigation of new symptoms. Periodic health exams which include specific evidence-based screening tests (pap tests, blood pressure checks, cholesterol tests, colon cancer screening) are recommended and covered by MSP. We recommend that most women up to the age of 69 attend the clinic every 2 years for a “well-woman exam” that includes a pap test. Your doctor will discuss the recommendations for your individual situation with you. Physical exams for employment or camps are not covered by MSP.
MSP does not cover doctor’s notes and medical forms. When booking your appointment please let the receptionist know if you are bringing any forms that need to be completed. Fee’s may apply
Short Doctors Note $30
Long Doctors Note $50
