What is a temporary physician?

Riverside Medical utilizes temporary physicians in our clinic. A temporary physician covers for a doctor when he is away or when a hospital or practice is short-staffed. It is also a good way for a doctor to trial a clinic and community to see if it is a good fit.

We have a few temporary physicians coming over the summer. Read about them on our About page.

They can see any patient, with or without a regular family physician. Call us to book your appointment now!
