Call the clinic before you go. Openings fill fast and clinics rarely update their websites. Each listing links to the public source it came from and shows when we last checked it. Listings marked Possibly outdated are based on older or undated sources. WaitlistWise doesn't register patients and isn't affiliated with any clinic.

Also register with Health Care Connect

Ontario's free Health Care Connect program matches people without a family doctor or nurse practitioner with one accepting patients. You need an Ontario health card. Register online at ontario.ca/page/find-family-doctor-or-nurse-practitioner or call 811 (TTY 711), 24/7. You can keep calling clinics while you wait.

Report a doctor opening or an outdated listing
