Please call our receptionists for an appointment like you normally would, and we will determine whether your needs can be dealt with by a phone call from a physician, or whether you need to come in to the clinic.
We have recently re-launched our online booking portal for TELEPHONE VISITS ONLY.
Inquire with a receptionist on how to register
We will remain open Monday to Saturday to serve you, but we have temporarily stopped our evening clinics.
ALL VISITS AND SERVICES REQUIRE A BOOKED APPOINTMENT

Effective November 5, 2020 - Comox Medical Clinic will be strictly following the BC Ministry of Health Policy that requires all patients, health care workers and non-clinical staff to wear medical grade masks while inside the Clinic.
Patients will be asked to wear a medical grade mask for their entire visit,
