About the Practice

Dr Adam Thompson works within Courtenay Medical Associates -

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.

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.
