New Online Booking System

We are now using an online booking system called “Ocean”.  (Pomelo is inactivated).  All active patients can easily access this system without an account.   You simply need to enter in your name, personal health number (PHN), and birthdate. You can view the schedules of your family physician and all our associates/locums. If your concern is URGENT and you cannot find a timely appointment with any doctor, please call the office or email us at kitsfamilypractice@gmail.com and type “URGENT” in the subject line.

Forms and Requisitions

For security reasons, forms and requisitions may be sent to you through the Ocean platform rather than through the Kits Family Practice gmail account. Watch for emails from “Ocean MD”.  PLEASE print or save the attachments as you may only open the message once.  Please email us at kitsfamilypractice@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Errors/miscommunication can occur. Please contact us if you have NOT received expected information in a reasonable period of time.

Email us if you have not received a requistion/form/information which you were expecting within two days of your doctor’s visit.  Unless urgent, we may not be able to email you within the same office day.

Re: Specialist appointments: The wait times for specialists/referral clinics are variable.  If you have not heard from us or the specialists’ office within 4 weeks, please feel free to contact us.
