New Patient Applications

A thoughtful approach to care — for patients seeking clarity, continuity, and long-term health.

At Ajax Harwood Clinic, we offer a different kind of medical care.

Our focus is not speed or quick prescriptions —

it is continuity, thoughtful decision-making, and addressing root causes of health concerns.

This application helps us understand:

  • your healthcare needs

  • your expectations

  • and whether our model is the right fit for you

This model works best for patients who value clarity, continuity, and long-term outcomes over quick fixes.

This clinic may be a good fit if you:

  • are looking for a long-term relationship with one physician
  • value continuity over convenience
  • are open to understanding the root causes of health issues
  • are willing to work within clinic processes and structure
  • are open to approaches such as:
    • lifestyle-based care
    • group visits
    • integrative care (e.g., acupuncture, presence-based work)

This clinic may NOT be the best fit if you:

To make this clear upfront:

  • looking primarily for prescriptions, forms, or quick approvals without discussion

  • prefer to use multiple walk-in clinics for convenience

  • are not able to commit to ongoing care with one clinic

  • are expecting immediate access for every concern without structure

  • There is no right or wrong — only fit.

This helps prevent frustration for both patient and physician.

How care works at our clinic

Our care model is structured to support continuity and thoughtful decision-making:

  • We operate a hybrid model:

    • scheduled visits

    • structured access

    • some same-day availability

  • We prioritize:

    • continuity

    • deeper understanding

    • prevention

  • After-hours care:

    • for registered patients

    • urgent care outside hours → emergency department

What happens after you apply

  1. You complete the intake form

  2. We review your responses carefully

  3. If it appears to be a good fit:

    • we may offer an introductory visit

  4. After that visit:

    • both you and the physician decide if it feels right

👉 Submission does not guarantee enrolment

👉 This is a mutual fit process

Location matters

Continuity of care works best when travel to the clinic is practical.

Continuity of care becomes difficult when:

  • travel time is long

  • patients rely on outside walk-in clinics

This process is designed to ensure a good fit before committing to long-term care.

The goal is not to rush — but to begin care on the right foundation.
