Dr. Bakker is Accepting New Patients Who Are:

  • Children and Young Families residing in the Bow Valley area.
  • Residents of Banff who have not been previously seen by another clinic within the area.

We are committed to providing comprehensive care to our community. However, due to limited capacity, we regret to inform potential patients that we are unable to accept those wishing to change providers at this time. This decision is made with the best intentions to prioritize residents of Banff who currently do not have access to a family healthcare provider.

For Residents of Canmore:

If you are a resident of Canmore seeking a family healthcare provider, we kindly ask that you contact the Bow Valley Primary Care Network (PCN) for a listing of available services, or reach out directly to the Canmore clinic. They are well-equipped to assist you in finding the healthcare services you require.

How to Register as a New Patient

If you meet the above criteria and are interested in becoming a patient of Dr. Bakker, please wait until you have a medical reason to see the doctor and book online.

If you have a medical chart that needs transferred this can be arranged at your first visit to the Alpine Medical Clinic. If possible please download and complete the transfer form and bring to the visit.

You also need to bring the following:

  • Provincial Healthcare Card (the number alone is not enough we need to see the original card)
  • Name and telephone number of emergency contact

If you are a visitor to Banff and in need of a Doctor you can call to make an appointment or simply walk in to our clinic.

Exception: Quebec Health Care does not have a reciprocal billing agreement with Alberta Health Care. You will be required to pay for your visit and will be provided with the paperwork to claim back through Quebec. Please still bring your Quebec Healthcare Card as we can still direct bill Lab work and x rays.

You will be required to pay for your visit. We do not like direct billing insurance companies, but if you provide us with conformation of payment we will have the insurance company pay us. If you prefer to pay we will provide you with the proper receipts so that you can be reimbursed by your insurance company.

We recommend that you contact your insurance company prior to your visit to ensure you are covered and to see if there is any specific forms they need completing, these must be brought with you. If necessary they can be faxed directly to the clinic: (001) 403 762 5797
