Clinics in Abbotsford

Finding a Doctor in Abbotsford

Abbotsford is the largest city in the Fraser Valley with a population of approximately 170,000. Located east of Metro Vancouver, the city falls under Fraser Health and is served by Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre. Abbotsford's growing population includes a significant South Asian community and an expanding base of families relocating from Vancouver due to housing costs. The family doctor shortage in Abbotsford reflects broader Fraser Valley trends — rapid population growth combined with an insufficient number of new primary care providers entering practice. Fraser Health operates UPCC services in the Abbotsford area to bridge the gap for patients without a regular doctor. Abbotsford residents searching for a family doctor should check mydoctorbc.ca regularly for clinics accepting patients. Many local clinics offer services in Punjabi, Hindi, and other languages. Consider also looking at clinics in neighbouring Mission, Chilliwack, and Langley. Registering with Health Connect Registry is recommended, as Fraser Health actively recruits family physicians to the Fraser Valley.
