Family Physician – east of Toronto – Great supports & work environment

Are you seeking a practice where you can spend meaningful time with patients, enjoy true work–life balance, and feel valued by both your colleagues and the community? Our established family health organization (FHO) is offering a rare and outstanding opportunity.

The Opportunity

• Take over the patient panel of a retiring physician in a longstanding, community-supported clinic. 
• Flexible scheduling, with no minimum days or patient volumes required. 
• Current model: 1 patient every 30 minutes, 4 days per week, billing $35,000–$38,000/month. You are welcome to change the model however you’d prefer.  
• 5-year contract, with full community support and appreciation. 
• Practice in a collegial, collaborative group with excellent EMR and organized systems. 

Compensation & Incentives

• $100,000 relocation incentive (community-funded, tied to 5-year contract). 
• FHO model within a Family Health Team (FHT). 
• Fixed overheads based on the number of half-days worked. 
• Physicians bill directly, and colleagues will provide guidance and support with billing. 
• Option to develop special interests (procedures such as suturing, biopsies, joint injections, etc.). 

Practice Environment & Support

• 2 exam rooms per physician. 
• Office manager + 3 experienced MOAs (3–6 years with the clinic). 
• FHT nurse onsite one day per week. 
• Collegial group with senior physicians for mentorship. 
• Work-from-home option one day per week (currently phone visits). 

Call & After-Hours Coverage

• Shared urgent care coverage with other FHO physicians. 
• Typically 1–4 shifts per month (weekday evenings 5–8pm or weekend blocks of 3–6 hours). 

Why This Role Stands Out

For Physicians:

• Supportive, collegial, and genuinely enjoyable work environment. 
• Community-built and community-appreciated clinic. 
• Organized systems and modern EMR for smooth workflows. 

For Patients:

• Local access to comprehensive primary care. 
• Broad range of services, including procedures and after-hours care. 
• Reliable, consistent, and compassionate care in a welcoming environment. 

Why This Location Stands-Out:

Unique Area Highlights: Few places combine waterway heritage, cottage-country charm, and rural pace with enough connectivity to a city. You get refuge from urban stress, waterside beauty, and strong ties to nature – all while maintaining access to regional hubs for professional and personal needs.

Housing & Cost of Living: Compared to large urban centres, housing and land are far more affordable; you’ll find modest homes, cottages, or rural properties at a fraction of city land costs.

Unique Area Highlights: Few places combine waterway heritage, cottage-country charm, and rural pace with enough connectivity to a city. You get refuge from urban stress, waterside beauty, and strong ties to nature – all while maintaining access to regional hubs for professional and personal needs.

Amenities: While it’s a smaller community, essentials are present – local shops, markets, basic services – and larger centers are within driving distance. 

Safety: Small-town life often comes with lower crime rates and stronger social cohesion, offering peace of mind and a safer environment for families, especially compared to dense urban cores.

Schools & Childcare: Yo will get access to local school systems typical of rural Ontario, with smaller class sizes and personalized attention.

Recreational & Lifestyle Highlights: This is a boater’s and nature-lover’s haven – fishing, boating, hiking, cycling, water sports in summer, ice fishing and snowmobiling in winter.

Climate: You experience full four seasons, with warm summers ideal for water recreation and crisp autumns ideal for scenic landscapes. Winters are quieter but support winter sports and seasonal charm.
