About the Practice

Picture

Dr Adam Thompson  works within Courtenay Medical Associates -
A group of 6 Family Physicians

I assumed the practice of Dr. Fitzpatrick in 2011. I work full time at Courtenay Medical Associates and hold full admitting privileges at Comox Valley Hospital in Comox- this means I either assist or directly look after my patients admitted to CVH.
HOURS OF WORK

OFFICE

I generally work full office days Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and half days with morning or afternoons on Wednesday and Friday.
​
COMOX VALLEY HOSPITAL
​
I attend the hospital everyday Monday to Friday, and participate in a weekend call schedule.
BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT
Please call 250 334 4411 between 0830-1200 and 1300-1700 to get an appointment.
Routine appointment waits vary from 2 days to 2 weeks depending on the time of year - Winter is much busier.
Why not talk to our team about online booking next time you're in - its so much easier!
URGENT PROBLEMS
​I try to accommodate urgent medical problems on the same day - and we often have another Doctor available same day for emergencies.

Types of Appointments

Generally I offer 10 minute appointments to ensure all patients get access to care. Longer appointments are reserved for reviewing the care plan of patients with complex conditions, doing minor operations and driver's medicals.

Annual Physicals

Historically, patients were offered an annual physical. This is no longer considered beneficial to your health. There are set screening programs that you should attend to discuss with me. More information click here

No Shows

Every day, between 3 and 5 patients fail to attend appointments with me, and this has been worsening over time. This means that other patients who wanted to be seen that day aren't getting in as easily. For this reason, I will now be invoicing every patient who fails to attend an appointment.

No Shows include failing to cancel less than one hour before an appointment. You can also cancel appointments through online booking - please speak to patient services about how to sign up for online booking.
