PHIPA-compliant website design for Canadian physicians and medical practices
Patients choosing a new physician or specialist research online first — every time. What they find shapes their confidence in your care before they even book. Your website needs to communicate clinical competence, a welcoming environment, and — critically — complete confidence in the privacy of their health information.
ProfessionalWebsite.ca builds PHIPA-compliant websites for Canadian medical practices that inform, reassure, and convert prospective patients.
PHIPA Compliance Built In, Not Bolted On
What a Medical Practice Website Needs
Services & Accepted Patients
Are you accepting new patients? What services does your practice offer? What MSP-covered vs. private services are available? Patients need this information immediately — your homepage should answer these questions above the fold.
Physician Profiles
Medical school, residency, board certifications, and areas of focus — all in plain, accessible language that builds immediate credibility and personal connection.
Patient Resources
Prescription refill policies, referral processes, after-hours care options, and links to provincial health resources. These pages reduce phone inquiries and demonstrate proactive patient care.
Appointment Booking
Integrated appointment request forms or booking links (Jane App, Cliniko) with PHIPA-compliant data handling disclosures at every entry point.
Location & Hours
Prominent, Google Maps-integrated location information with parking, transit, and accessibility details — essential for new patient acquisition.
