During this COVID-19 pandemic, White Rock/South Surrey family physicians are available to provide care to patients using telephone or video during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are also available for in-clinic care as needed. To book your appointment, call your family physician’s office. If an in-person visit is needed, your family physician will let you know, and their staff will follow up to make arrangements.
