The Township of Ramara has a variety of health services available to ensure residents have access to quality health care options.

Find a new doctor

Learn how to find a new doctor in Ontario.

 Find a doctor

You'll need a valid Ontario health card to register and find a doctor with Health Care Connect.

You must remove your name from the patient list of your current doctor before you can find a new doctor through Health Care Connect. There are two ways you can de-roster:

  1. Contact your current doctor directly and asked to be removed from the patient list
  2. Contact Service Ontario

You're still able to visit your original doctor after you've been removed from the patient list and before you find a new doctor.

Telemedicine Services

Starting December 1, 2021, residents in Ramara will have access to Good Doctors Medical, telemedicine services with onsite nursing support at the Mara Medical Centre. Learn more at gooddoctors.ca/ site/good-doctors-ramara.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Good Doctors Ramara Clinic located?

Our new clinic is located at the Mara Medical Centre at 3242 Ramara Rd 47.

This location is beside Brechin Public School above the Ramara Township Public Library.

What are your hours of operation?

 Beginning December 1, 2021, the clinic will operate Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

What services do you offer?

We are a virtual telemedicine walk-in clinic. Our clinic is staffed with local nurses on site to

perform physical assessments, and connect patients through secured video conference to a
licensed Ontario physician. Physicians are not physically onsite for assessments.

We provide treatment for acute medical concerns such as: infections, prescription refills,
assessments, referrals, diagnostic testing and much more. Most services are covered with a valid Ontario Health Card.
Examples of services we offer:

  • Prescription Renewals/Refills (NOTE: We do not prescribe/refill narcotics or controlled
    substances). 

  • Specialist Referrals

  • Doctor's/Sick Notes

  • Lab and Diagnostic Requisitions   

  • Telephone and Video Appointments

  • Sexual Health Testing and Contraception
  • Physiotherapy Requests   
  • Mental Health Referral
  • Simple Procedures (Stitch and staple removal)
  • Driver's Medical Exams

I need a family doctor, are you taking new patients?

Good Doctors is a telemedicine walk-in clinic and does not sign up patients like a regular family doctor. But we understand that finding a new family doctor can be difficult so we do offer services to help while you are looking to find a more permanent family doctor. We can help  manage chronic conditions, order tests and refer you to a medical specialist if needed. We also offer the ability to book an appointment with the same doctor so that you are being cared for by the same physician.

What is a telemedicine clinic, and how does it work?

Our clinic is staffed with registered practical nurses (RPN), registered nurses (RN) or clinical assistants from the local community. A typical patient encounter at one of our clinics would have a nurse document the patient’s medical complaint, history and medication list. The Nurse will connect the patient using Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) to one of our Ontario licensed physicians for a consultation over video. Our staff onsite remains with the patient for the consultation with the doctor and assists the doctor in any physical assessments or simple diagnostic testing that are necessary.
