Thank you for asking Healthcare majic. My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah & I have gone through your query. Since you are in search of a doctor for your COPD & Asthma treatment and need physical examination and prefer a female doctor for that purpose since your family doctor left her practice , well in this senario,the best first step is to ask family and friends as sometime Doctor take patients from referral of their existing patients. you have mentioned downtown Vancouver , an approach for you is searching doctors online , i am sending you a link , just have a look at that . and you can search doctor online from websites like this . https://www.cpsbc.ca/ just go to this site and you will see a column find a physician , it has a small option advanced search , just click on that and then choose your doctor near your locality (North Vancouver, west Vancouver, Vancouver) while keeping your search narrow by just clicking family physician/specialist and Female gender ... you will get a list of doctors with the information whether they are accepting new patients or not ... Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
