What to Bring with You
1. Your CareCard (for BC Residents)
Please note that out-of-province and out-of-country patients need to provide their medical insurance information.
2. A list of all your current medications
Some drugs, vitamins and supplements interact with each other. It is best your doctor know what you are taking to make sure you get the right treatment.
3. All doctor, X-ray or laboratory reports you have
If you don’t have these, don’t worry! Your doctor will provide you with the best care possible. Please bring the name and telephone number of all the doctors involved in your care. If you know the location of where you have had your X-rays or blood tests done, this would also be important information to bring along to your appointment.
4. A list of questions you want to ask the doctor
Your doctor may request specific tests in order to provide the best quality of care. There may be certain things you need to do before and/or after having a procedure. If you have any questions about these procedures, please feel free to talk about them with your doctor.
Parking
There is underground pay parking at the Burrard Medical Building (entrance off of Burrard St.). There are also several other parking lots including underground parking St. Paul’s Hospital (entrance from Burrard St.) and parking at the Century Plaza Hotel (1015 Burrard St.). Please note that these lots can be full, and you should allow yourself enough time to find a parking spot. Metered parking can be found along Burrard St. and other nearby streets. Most meters accept quarters and loonies. During rush hours, keep in mind that parking along Burrard St. and other major streets may not be permitted. Non-metered parking may be difficult to find close to St. Paul’s Hospital, and the majority of street/lane parking is for local residents only (who have special permit parking decals).
Dropping-off & Picking-up
Temporary parking is available on Burrard St. for dropping off and picking up visitors.
