NEWS: Dr. Brown retiring

Dear patients,
   It has been a privilege to be your family doctor at Ocean Pier Medical Clinic. However, I regret to announce my retirement from medical practice effective June 30, 2021.  After 42 years in active medical practice, it is time for me to step down.
   I have notified the administration at Ocean Pier of my decision, and they are working diligently to find replacement physicians to cover all my patients. With that in mind, I would strongly recommend to my patients that they immediately participate in the ACCA program which has been developed for you at Ocean Pier. 
   The purpose of this program is meant to assist in efforts such as this when a physician leaves, and I truly endorse it. Membership in the program can easily be done online through the Ocean Pier website, or personally at the office.
   Ocean Pier Medical Clinic has graciously agreed to hold and retain your medical records. If, for any reason, you wish to leave to find another physician elsewhere, then a copy of your file will be available for you.
   Ocean Pier has a comprehensive medical staff including 2 registered nurses and 2 pharmacists and excellent medical office assistants. We are an integrated family medical clinic of which I am proud to have helped create! 
   It has been a pleasure serving you and I have loved working at Ocean Pier. I will be fully available until June 30 for either in-office appointments or telephone visits until then.  
 Sincerely,

Robert H. Brown M.D., C.C.F.P.
Legacy Director Ocean Pier Medical Clinic​

PROSPECTIVE PATIENT ROSTER NOW FULL.

If you applied to be a prospective patient with us, we will be sending out welcome emails in the following weeks. We request that you do not contact the office to inquire on your application as this delays the process. As a reminder, we are giving priority to those with complex medical conditions to help reduce strain upon our healthcare system. We will post a notice here once our onboarding process of new patients is complete.

If you are interested, there is a website called: https://www.findadoctorbc.ca/ that can notify you when a doctor's office is taking new patients.
