Columbia Primary Care Clinc has a zero tolerance policy regarding any abuse or aggression towards our staff. Our front staff are trained to help patients and we make every effort to make your visit pleasant and comfortable. We are completely supportive of our staff, and neither the doctor, nor management will tolerate any rude or aggressive behaviour. Individuals violating our policy will be asked to leave the clinic and, depending on the circumstances, could be banned.

Due to the insecure nature of e-mail communication, we DO NOT currently use email as a means of communication with the public or patients regarding questions or issues of a medical nature, to establish physican/patient relationship; to book or cancel appointments; or for inquiries regarding fees, services or similar matters. If you wish to contact us regarding medical questions or issues or with regard to appointments, accounts or other questions please do so by telephone, fax or regular mail.

A physician may ask you to email photos/information/forms to the clinic, please do so at your own discretion/comfort level, and only at the direction of your provider. If you do not want to use email, other methods can be arranged. Your act of emailing implies consent for this use of insecure communication.

We do not renew prescriptions without an appointment, so be sure to make an appointment to see your family doctor at least 2-4 weeks before you run out.
