Hi Everyone,
I just thought that I'd update this. We've found a Dr!! It seemed to take forever, calling around to find out which doctors were taking new patients, and also checking out www.ratemds.com for reviews on available doctors.
Anyways, my partner and I are now happily seeing Dr. Mihaela Lapuste. The clinic she works from is on Hastings, just a few blocks West of Renfrew. The office itself is a little 70's, but that's kind of beside the point.
She didn't have any noticeable reactions when my partner and I told her that our birth control was being in a monogamous same-sex relationship. I'm not sure how knowledgeable she is in terms of "queer health" but she knows enough to feel that a PAP test is still important. She is a very good listener, which I find to be a rare trait, but so important. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking. She is still taking new patients. Good luck!

Thank you so much. I used to volunteer at the Centre, but found that the resources weren't very up to date in regards to physicians.
Mid Main looks fantastic. I looked up the doctors individually, and it seems like there are some good ones there. Hopefully they're taking new patients. Also, Three Bridges is a good suggestion. Thanks again!

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a queer-friendly, female physician in the lower mainland who's taking new patients? My partner and I are looking for a family doctor. Many thanks in advance!
