On-Line Booking

Essa Family Practice is now using the Ocean platform for on-line booking for virtual (telephone) and in-office appointments. You will also be able to receive secure electronic messages from the clinic.

Virtual Telephone Appointments

In the "reason for booking appointment box" please ensure you provide the phone number you would like to be contacted at.
When booking a telephone appointment, please consider if your health concern can be addressed over the phone. If not, book an on-line, in-office appointment.
Dr. Seward will call you at the approximate appointment time (allow 5 minutes leeway please).

In-Office Routine Appointments

In-office appointments can be booked on-line.
Do not book an in-office appointment on-line if you have cough/cold symptoms. Please call the office directly to discuss your appointment with clinic staff.

Well Baby Visits

Well baby visists can be booked on-line.

Physical examinations

Physical examination appointments can be booked on-line. Please note, there is a restriction for booking only one physical every 365 days.

The Ocean platform also allows for secure messaging. You will receive an initial email from clinic staff asking you to grant permission to communicate using the Ocean platform (which you can allow or deny).

This will allow for messaging and attachments for patient care such as: medical issues, test results, forms for completion and details on upcoming appointments (specialist referrals/imaging).
