The receptionist needs your name, BC HealthCare number, contact information, and the nature of your visit in order to book an appointment. Please let her know if your visit is for an urgent or non-urgent problem, a follow up visit, or an insurance or driver's physical. This information enables the receptionist to book an appropriate appointment for you. Medical forms to be filled out should be shown to the receptionist since some information on the form may have to be filled out before seeing the doctor.
