Chilliwack Mountain Medical

The honest advice for anyone working through this section of the directory is to telephone before driving anywhere, because family practice in Chilliwack is under the same pressure it is under everywhere else in British Columbia, and a clinic taking patients in the spring may not be by the autumn. That advice is harder to follow here than usual. Chilliwack Mountain Medical publishes neither a phone number nor a website, which leaves the postal code as the only firm detail in the record. There is nothing unusual in that for a small practice, but it leaves the entry unable to do the job it most needs to.

The thing you most want to know is the thing this listing cannot tell you: whether the practice is accepting new patients, whether it runs a walk-in service, and what hours it keeps. None of that is in the record and none of it should be guessed at. Worth noting as well that this directory leaves out chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy and counselling as a matter of standing policy, so a business appearing under this heading is a medical clinic in the ordinary sense rather than allied health. If the clinic cannot be reached directly, asking at another practice in the same downtown cluster is usually faster than driving from one door to the next and reading the notices taped inside them.
