Family Medicine forms the foundation of long-term health and wellness by providing consistent, comprehensive care across every stage of life. At The Marylebone Medical Clinic, our Family Medicine services deliver primary medical care for patients of all ages, guided by prevention, continuity, and evidence-based treatment.
Our family physicians accept OHIP and provide assessment and management of both acute and chronic medical conditions, preventive health screenings, and long-term health planning within an integrated medical setting. Whether establishing care with a primary provider, managing ongoing health concerns, or focusing on preventive care, our team is committed to thoughtful, patient-centred support that evolves with your needs over time.
Family medicine is a branch of primary care focused on long-term, relationship-based health management for individuals and families across all stages of life. Unlike episodic or specialist care, family medicine is built around continuity, a single physician who knows your history, monitors your health over time, and coordinates care across disciplines when needed.
In Ontario, family physicians serve as the first point of contact within the healthcare system, providing assessment and treatment for acute illnesses, ongoing management of chronic conditions, preventive health screenings, and referrals to specialist care. Family medicine is covered by OHIP for eligible patients, meaning most medically necessary visits involve no out-of-pocket cost.
At The Marylebone Medical Clinic, family medicine is delivered within an integrated, multidisciplinary model that combines primary care with internal medicine, cardiology, pharmacy, and longevity services under one roof.
Effective chronic disease management requires consistency, clinical oversight, and a care model built around the long term. At The Marylebone Medical Clinic, ongoing management of chronic conditions is approached as a coordinated, evolving process — not a series of isolated visits. Family physicians work alongside our internal medicine and cardiology specialists to deliver integrated monitoring and evidence-based care planning tailored to each patient’s history and goals.
Chronic conditions commonly supported through our family medicine program include:
Care plans are reviewed and adjusted over time to reflect changes in health status, lifestyle, and treatment response. Where specialist input is required, referrals are coordinated within the clinic’s integrated model — supporting continuity without fragmentation.
Family Medicine is designed to support patients throughout their lives, from childhood through adulthood and into older age. As primary care physicians, family doctors act as a trusted first point of contact for a wide range of health concerns while maintaining an ongoing relationship over time. This continuity allows care to remain informed, personal, and responsive rather than episodic.
Preventive care is a central part of Family Medicine, supporting early identification of potential health concerns. Preventive health screenings are guided by age, sex, medical history, and individual risk factors, helping maintain long-term health and well-being. The goal is early detection and proactive health maintenance, without unnecessary testing.
Family Medicine includes the assessment and management of both short-term illnesses and long-term medical conditions. Acute concerns may involve sudden symptoms or illnesses that require timely evaluation, while chronic conditions require ongoing monitoring and coordinated care. Understanding the difference between acute and chronic illness helps ensure treatment plans remain appropriate and consistent.
Continuity of care is a defining feature of Family Medicine and a key distinction from walk-in or episodic care. Long-term patient–physician relationships allow for a deeper understanding of health history, changing needs, and evolving priorities. This continuity supports proactive health planning rather than reactive treatment.
Family Medicine at Marylebone is delivered within a multidisciplinary medical clinic designed to support coordinated, seamless care. Family physicians collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure communication and continuity across services.
Family Medicine services are appropriate for individuals and families at all stages of life, including:

Understanding which services are covered under OHIP is one of the most common questions patients have when establishing care with a new family physician in Ontario. At The Marylebone Medical Clinic, our family medicine services accept OHIP for eligible patients. Coverage is determined by the Ontario Ministry of Health and applies to medically necessary care provided by licensed physicians.
Some services fall outside of OHIP coverage, including certain administrative forms, notes, and non-medically necessary assessments. Our team provides transparent communication regarding eligibility and any associated fees prior to your appointment. For questions regarding specific services and coverage, patients are encouraged to contact the clinic directly.
Understanding the difference between care models helps patients make informed decisions about where and how to seek ongoing support.

The Marylebone Medical Clinic is located at 840 DuPont St in Toronto’s Annex neighborhood and serves patients from across the city seeking comprehensive, physician-led primary care.
Walk-in clinics provide episodic care for immediate concerns without an ongoing patient relationship. A family doctor offers continuity of care — your physician becomes familiar with your health history, risk factors, and long-term goals over time. This continuity supports better health planning, more accurate clinical decision-making, and a more coordinated approach to both acute and chronic care.
In most cases, a referral from a family physician is required to access specialist care in Ontario under OHIP. At The Marylebone Medical Clinic, family physicians coordinate referrals directly and work alongside our internal medicine and cardiology team on-site, supporting a seamless transition to specialist care when needed.
Yes. Individuals who have recently moved to Ontario and hold a valid OHIP card are eligible to register with a family physician. If your OHIP card reflects a previous address, updating it through ServiceOntario prior to your first appointment is recommended. Our team can assist with the registration process and help facilitate the transfer of medical records from your previous provider.
We recommend bringing your valid Ontario Health Card, a current list of medications and dosages, the names of any specialists you have previously seen, and any recent test results or medical records. Having this information on hand allows your physician to develop a thorough understanding of your health history from the very first visit.
Family Medicine provides a reliable foundation for navigating health over time. Through prevention, continuity, and coordinated care, our team supports informed decision-making and long-term well-being.
