Saugeen Shores doctor will treat orphaned patients by phone

A Saugeen Shores doctor is offering a new service for residents without doctors.

Dr. Don McCulloch has offered to speak with patients on the phone to help keep orphaned patients and non-Saugeen Shores residents out of the local emergency department.

He can refill prescriptions, write new prescriptions or provide medical advice. Patients must not have a family doctor and must be able to provide their valid health card upon request.

Patients seeking service are required to email their request, name and phone number to: medicalfilerequest@gmail.com.

Dr. McCulloch will respond with a phone call as soon as he is available, typically within 24 hours, but he may not have caller ID.
