One of many bad experiences: I stopped into pick up a requisition. Was informed that they threw it away. Apparently they throw your prescriptions and requisitions away after one month. Funny, they never told me that when I spoke to them over the phone. They could at least call patients after two weeks or something, just to let them know they have something to pick up, and it will be held for two more weeks. Or, they could keep documents digitally, and print them when patients arrive to pick them up. Something helpful and useful. Dont be like the clerk who held up her stack of papers, and said

As a senior, it isn't easy to find a family doctor in Vancouver so I feel very lucky to have fallen under the care of Dr. Laura Hume at Cambie Village Family Practice. Dr. Hume is attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. Rarely when she has not been available I have seen one of the other doctors and they have all been excellent. The receptionists are kind and efficient. The clinic space is clean and beautiful. Online appointment bookings are convenient and email responses are really quick. Plus there's usually free parking out front. I feel well taken care of every time I go there.

I have been a patient of Cambie Village Family Practice since it opened in 2009. The staff are welcoming, friendly and accommodating - especially whenever I need to get seen urgently. Dr. Ip has helped me over the years with my tendinitis, asthma, and more recently eczema that was not responding to any over the counter creams. She prescribed a medication that cleared it within days after I had suffered for weeks! (I only wish I had seen her sooner.) I highly recommend Dr. Ip and her clinic - thank you for the excellent service.

As a busy mom of 2 young boys, I rarely review places because I'm always running around and it slips my mind ... I am writing today because like other reviews I've written, I felt the need to stop and take a minute to mention what an exceptional experience I've had at Cambie Village Family Practice. Dr. Ip and her team are very professional and made me feel very comfortable despite the very uncomfortable issue I had. I saw a handful of other doctors that weren't able to fully help me or maybe didn't have the patience, but regardless, the issue is now resolved!!! I couldn't be any happier, thus

In the past, this clinic has been great. However, things have been changing and the level of service has definitely gone down. Wait time for the clinic has been very challenging, as I haven't had many instances where the doctors have been on time - which makes it tricky for people with busy schedules. It's an average of 6 weeks to see one doctor. Even when I'm able to see the doctor, it often feels rushed as I can tell that the doctor is rushing to see the next patient as they are behind. There is also inconsistency with the information that was given by their doctors; different information was
