Dr. Morgan Lyttle Departure Update
As of July 24th, Dr. Lyttle is no longer practising at Three Cedars MD. We know how unsettling it is to be without a family physician.
Primary care in British Columbia remains under-resourced, and when a physician can no longer care for their patients, there is no system in place to attach those patients to another provider. Doing so takes considerable time and staff resources, and there are no measures available to us to speed it up.
Dr. Salehabadi is taking on patients from Dr. Lyttle’s former list, working through it in a random order. This will likely take several months, and he is unlikely to be able to take everyone. If you are randomly selected, our office will reach out to you directly to arrange an intake appointment.
We ask that you not call or visit to check on your status. We understand the wish for news, but each inquiry takes a staff member away from contacting and booking patients, and it does not change when an appointment may become available. We ask too that you continue to treat our staff with the courtesy and respect that allows them to keep supporting patients well.
Your medical records remain securely stored at Three Cedars MD, and no action is needed. If you join another practice, your new clinic can fax us a records request at (250) 475-3530; transfers require your signed consent.
For your care while you wait:
• For non-urgent medical advice, call 8-1-1 to speak with a nurse, any time.
• For urgent concerns, attend an urgent and primary care centre or a walk-in clinic.
• In an emergency, call 9-1-1.
Thank you for your understanding,
Three Cedars MD
