Cook Quadra Medical Clinic | Dr. Peter Vizsolyi
January - June, 2020
The clinic is being rezoned. Over the last three years there has been a long-term locum covering a practice left open by physician retiring for medical reasons and another 1/2 practice left open by a physician leaving Family Medicine. The current locum has had to cut back due to other commitments but had been billing at a full practice rate working only 3.5 days per week, including a small walk-in component. There would also be an opportunity to keep these patients if the rezoning completes and the physician wishes to relocate to a permanent practice.
