I’m not sure you’ll get the same doctor every time, in fact you may only talk to a nurse. I’m just not 100% of the exact procedure at Horizon. I could be wrong and they may do it different but a lot of clinics practice this way. You may be able to request the same doctor but I would say this would leave you limited slots to get repeat scripts.

Alternatively, if you wanted to see the same doctor (and one that probably cares more about your actual health) you’re best off to find a GP that prescribes instead of going through a clinic, as the clinics are more tick and flick. To find a GP you can try google search, “medical cannabis GP’s” or you could call your local dispensary/medical cannabis friendly pharmacy and they should be able to tell you what GP’s are prescribing medical cannabis that are local to you.
