We read every review
The front desk, rebuilt.
Patients give the care five stars. The phones, the booking and the rebooking, not always. So everything between you and your doctor works differently now.
"I got hung up on."Now: no hold queue. Text, book online, or ask for a call back.
"Rebooking felt like a bother."Now: change your own time, any hour, in two taps.
"They had no record of me."Now: one record, found by name, birthday or health number.
Kind on the phone. Clear about the next step. Every time.

Good to know
Questions we hear every week.
Still unsure? Text the clinic and a person answers.
Are you taking new pregnant patients?
It changes through the year. Request a first visit with the booking form and the front desk texts you back with a time or the next step, either way.
Do I need a referral for maternity care?
Not at Edgemont if you're a patient of the clinic. For Dr. Ah-Seng's obstetric clinic at ConnectCare Spruce Grove, your family doctor sends a referral and you get a text when it's booked.
Where will I have my baby?
At the Misericordia Community Hospital in west Edmonton. Toward the end of your pregnancy we go over when to go in and what to bring.
What if I think I'm in labour after hours?
If you have regular contractions, bleeding, fluid leaking, or your baby is moving less than usual, go to Misericordia Labour & Delivery or call 911. If you're unsure, call Health Link at 811.
Is my prenatal care covered?
Yes. Physician prenatal, delivery and postpartum care are covered by the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan. If a form or letter has a fee, we tell you before, not after.
Can I book or change an appointment online?
Yes, at any hour, from the Book button or by text. Changes show in the clinic's schedule straight away.
Do you take walk-ins?
We see booked patients, with same-day openings held each day for our own patients who need to be seen urgently. Text first thing and we find you a time.
