Posting #05-002-24

A physician with a solo FHO/FHT practice in downtown Stoney Creek would like to retire and is looking for a successor to take over the care of his patients (start date flexible). The practice is currently in the early planning stages of co-locating this practice with other FHO colleagues.  This is an excellent opportunity to take over an established, well-managed FHT practice in a team-based setting.

The successful candidate will be joining a large 26 member FHO and will care for a roster of approximately 1,500 patients (with an additional 250 un-rostered patients). With appointments typically booked at 15- or 30-minute intervals depending on the complexity of the patients, the practice typically sees between 30-35 patients per day (including patients seen by the nurse). Current practice hours are 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and half-days on Wednesday and Friday. On-call coverage is provided to the FHO 1-2 evenings per month and 4-6 weekend day shifts per year (a shift is comprised of 3 hours of in office coverage). Up to 6 weeks of vacation coverage is provided by the FHO each year.

This solo practice is located in a large medical building in downtown Stoney Creek alongside a lab, x-ray/imaging clinic, and 5 FHO colleagues. The current practice space uses Telus PS Suite EMR and includes a reception area/waiting room, 3 exam rooms, a private office, a counsellor suite, washrooms, and free parking. Experienced administrative staff handle reception and patient bookings, and as part of the Hamilton Family Health Team the practice is also supported by a full-time registered nurse, a dietician, and part-time mental health counsellor. A HFHT psychiatrist is also available for consults.

A FHO/FHT physician practicing within a 7-member group in a large, newly built location in Waterdown, ON is seeking a physician to take over his practice in June 2026 (specific start date flexible). With the ability to locum at the practice prior to taking over, this is an excellent opportunity for those looking to ease into a well-supported FHO/FHT practice in the sought-after town of Waterdown (located approximately 1 hour West of downtown Toronto and 25 minutes North of downtown Hamilton).

The successful candidate will take over a roster of ~1,500 patients (and ~200 un-rostered), at a practice that sees no more than 20 patients per day. The diverse roster is comprised of approximately 60% male and 40% female patients, with ages ranging from infants to 90+ years old. The incoming physician will have the option to continue providing shared care obstetrics with OBGYNs in both Hamilton and Burlington if desired.

Each physician in the FHO is entitled to 6 weeks of annual vacation coverage through the FHO and up to 3 weeks sick leave and 2 weeks CME. The successful candidate will be required to provide after-hours call coverage to the FHO for 1 evening per week, including seeing patients until 7 pm, as well as weekend on-call coverage once every 7 weeks.

The practice is supported by an experienced team of administrative professionals including an office administrator, a secretary, 5 receptionists, a billing clerk and a referrals clerk. As part of the Hamilton Family Health Team the practice also receives extensive allied health support from 5 registered nurses, a dietitian, a chiropodist, a clinical pharmacist (who runs travel and diabetic clinics), 2 social workers and a psychiatrist who provide in-person coverage at the practice 2 days every other week. The practice typically supports 4 learners (both residents and medical students) each year.

The practice is in a newly built ~9,000 sq. foot space in the fast-growing town of Waterdown.  The building is also home to a pharmacy and audiologist on the main floor and additional medical tenants will be moving in upstairs as well. Each physician in the group has access to 2 patient exam rooms and a separate dedicated workstation in the physician lounge. The space also provides a large procedure room for minor surgery, a large kitchen and conference room, separate staff and patient washrooms, and ample free parking for both patients and staff. The office is fully digital, with patient records managed through Telus EMR, Ocean for e-referrals, and Pomelo patient messaging system.
