New Westminster Family Practice has been serving families in New Westminster for over 15 years, and that longevity shows. They are a neighbourhood-based family practice that specialises in longitudinal care for all ages, from newborn immunisations to geriatric chronic disease management. What makes them stand out is simple: continuity. Many patients see the same physician or nurse practitioner over time, which helps catch small changes before they become big problems.

Their clinic offers a broad range of services you use in everyday life. Routine and school immunisations (including updated influenza and COVID boosters), well-child checks, prenatal and postnatal follow-up, and contraception counselling are all part of the core offering. They manage common chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, COPD and hypothyroidism, with in-house point-of-care glucose testing and spirometry available during appointments. Minor procedures like suturing, joint injections and wart treatments are done on site, and they coordinate specialist referrals and imaging when needed. The clinic uses a secure online booking and refill system so repeat prescriptions and appointment scheduling are handled efficiently.

You’ll notice their approach the moment you walk in. The reception area is calm and practical, with seating for about 12 and clear signage for privacy. Appointments focus on listening first, then clear next steps, so visits feel productive rather than rushed. The team includes three family physicians, one nurse practitioner, two medical office assistants and a lab phlebotomist, all registered in BC. They aim to build relationships, follow up by phone or email when tests arrive, and involve patients in creating realistic care plans.

Locally, New Westminster Family Practice partners with community midwives, the Royal Columbian Hospital and local pharmacies to keep care coordinated. Neighbours choose them because the clinic blends accessible, everyday medical care with a personalised touch — the kind you’d recommend to a friend.
