Family medicine and wellness · Halifax and Dartmouth
Care that starts with a real conversation.
Alder Health is a two clinic family practice. You book online in about a minute, your first visit is booked for a full 45 minutes, and you leave with a written plan and the next step already in the calendar.
What we do
Three ways in.
Most people start with one of these. If you are not sure which one fits, book the first visit and we will sort it out together.
Same week sick visits
Slots are held open every morning for people who woke up feeling off. Book one online and you will usually be seen inside three days.
From $95 per visit
Wellness and lifestyle
Sleep, stress, movement, and food, worked on over months instead of one appointment. Two check ins a month, in person or by video.
From $70 per month
