Does anyone have any recommendations for a family doctor who is taking on new patients either in Sylvan or in Red Deer? I don't mind the travel. Preferably one who is...

Christine D. replied:
Or 403 887 2221 ask if Dr Niemand or Dr Myburg but they're actually all great at this office
What is the doctors office #? & who is a good children/family doctor here in sylvan?
Andrea P. replied:
I go to Sylvan Medical across from Dairy Queen. All of the doctors there are great, MC Van Schalkwyk is who I see and I adore him! 887-2221. Not sure who is taking new patients but I highly recommend giving them a call :)
Who did you use for a prenatal doctor? I booked an appointment with my family doctor at horizon ( who delivered my last son). But am not happy about their new policy -...
Candace R. replied:
I used Dr. Mc for my last delivery was an awesome Dr. Very friendly and had no concern as he was very informative about everything during each visit. I now use him as a family Dr for myself and my kids!
Jennifer P. replied:
Dr. Kauchali is my prenatal doc this is my 2 nd pregnancy with him tho I also seen Dr. Majeinko when he was on holidays and she's also really great.
Dessiray L. replied:
I personally wouldn't suggest Dr. Myburgh, he always had me worried during my pregnancy because my baby was small (me and significant other were in the 6 lb range) and sent me to the hospital for induction with no warning because "baby will be under 5 lbs", didn't do my delivery or even show up the three days of induction and baby came out 6 lb 9 oz

Dr. Maciejko is my doctor and I haven't had her for prenatal but if I were to have another child she would bet choice for sure:). She is awesome!
Trisha D. replied:
Dr Kauchali at Sylvan Family Health. He was my family doctor, did all prenatal and delivered both of my daughters.

Ok hands down, worth the drive, saved mine and my first sons life, Dr.Goosen in Ponoka. The ponoka hospital is gorgeous, never had a more professional stay during or after a c section, he has delivered all 3 of my kids, 3 c sections no problem, my scar is nearly gone 4 inches long and my last baby is only 5 months old. Maybe he should moonlight as a plastic surgeon! Lol! In any case congratulations and i know how scary that is to trust someone new with something so important.

Dr MC is awesome! !
Callie D. replied:
I agree with Dr Mc!! My family Dr doesn't do deliveries so I ended up switching Dr swainson while I was pregnant, he was very wonderful but gone on holidays the week I was due. The Dr covering for him was not available when I went into labor and I ended up with the on call dr and then after a few hours with Dr Mc. He ended up staying hours past the end of his shift in order to finish my delivery as he didn't want me to have to deal with another new Dr. He was so so nice and made it such a wonderful experience!

Dr. Swanson is my family doc and delivered my baby, he rocks

Dr Nechifor at river family clinic in red deer. She was amazing
Hello fellow moms, we just recently moved back here after being away for 2 years and just having a hard time finding a family doctor. Dr. Hernberger used to be our...
Andrea O. replied:
If you were a patient of Dr Hernberger before she will likely see you again. Just phone the clinic and ask that the receptionist leave her a message stating that she delivered your baby and would she keep seeing you as a patient. If not Dr Macjeiko and Dr Penner at Sylvan Family Health are both accepting new patients. There is a wait list you can get your name on.
Andrea O. replied:
Dr Swainson is accepting new prenatal patients.
Jill F. replied:
Horizon Family Medicine connected to no frills is still accepting new patients, although I would not recommend Dr. Ngeth. Only because he misdiagnosed a very serious life threatening issue I had last year. But I guess everyone does make mistakes ;)
Mariah D. replied:
I think your files would still be with Dr. H. I don't think you qualify as a new patient.
Michelle W. replied:
I agree with Mariah, you should still be able to get in to see her. Good luck! We're patients of Dr. M.C. & he is amazing, no matter what type of treatment you're needing. That said, I don't think he's seeing anyone new unless they're obstetrical.
Jill F. replied:
Doctor Swainson isn't accepting any new patients:( I tried for that one.
I got a printout from the walk in clinic today with a list of family doctors who are accepting new patients. Unfortunately there are none in Sylvan but are in red deer....
Erika H. replied:
Dr Joe at St mary's clinic. The best part of that clinic is they do same day appointments with their walk in doctors so no more long waits with kids in tow!
Hannah J. replied:
Dr. Roxanna nechifor. Shes been my doctor since I moved here. Shes at River land medical clinic I believe is called
Any walk in clinics here? I need to get my son in, also looking for a local family doctor for us all if you know any good docs taking on patients. Thanks
Andrea H. replied:
You can call the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons and they will tell you who, in the area, is taking new patients.
Jenn M. replied:
Sylvan Family Health Centre has doctors that are taking prenatal patients I believe...just call.
So any of you know if any of the pharmacies in SL have prescribing pharmacists? I need something for my daughter that public health tells me is available from a...
