I've never heard of a doctor being assigned to a community, but perhaps it happens. Canadian doctors are very busy, and some are not accepting new patients. I can only speak about my own experience. A few years ago I moved to a small retirement community and chose a new local male doctor. I recently decided that I would prefer a female doctor, and I had a choice of two female doctors.
