Dr Don McCulloch has offered his services to assist Saugeen Shores' local health care system in these unique and trying times and has agreed to speak with patients via telephone to help keep orphaned patients and non-Saugeen Shores residents out of the local emergency department.

In a March 27, 2020 Town of Saugeen Shores media release, Dr McCulloch is able to refill prescriptions, write new prescriptions or provide medical advice and counsel. Patients must not have a family doctor and must be able to provide their valid health card upon request.

Patients seeking service are required to email their request to not applicable. Patients will need to include their name and a phone number at which they can be reached. Dr McCulloch will respond with a phone call as soon as he is available, typically within 24 hours.

The number from which he is calling may display on your phone as unidentifiable, so he is asking patients who are waiting for a call to please answer even if no caller ID is present.

Patients seeking Dr McCulloch’s services who do not have access to a computer or email can call not applicable, leave a message with their name and phone number and that will be forwarded via email to the doctor. Email is the preferred method and will be responded to first.

If you are leaving a telephone message, please only include your name and phone number. Do not include any personal medical information and please only leave one message.
