THE DOCTORS OFFICE
Duncan Family Doctors is a family physician group practice with an emphasis on patient-centered care utilizing evidence-based best practices. We are part of the North York Family Health Team and work alongside other health care professionals such as nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, dietitians and pharmacists to see more patients and to keep them healthy.
Our Family Health Team is an important part of changing both the health care system and the way people think about health care. Our Family Health Team focuses on preventing illness and promoting health. We look at the best ways to manage chronic illnesses such as diabetes and depression. The North York Family Health Team provides care that is more accessible and comprehensive.
