need a good female physician in vancouver!

ok, I've already looked at the BC college of physicians and surgeons website for doctors who are accepting new patients.. but I'm reluctant to just go to any doctor who I don't know anything about.

so, can anyone recommend a good female physician? it doesn't necessarily even have to be in vancouver, so long as it isn't TOO far from van like in maple ridge or chilliwack or something.

my doctor in poco at burke mountain medical. her name is dr.payne and shes been my family doctor since i was born.
the past two years ive gained even more respect for her. she doesnt over prescribe stuff - shes a firm believer in the fact that the body can take care of itself when it comes to colds\flus\ect.
when it comes to the feminine stuff, shes wicked cool. answers all questions, ive never felt judged or ashamed to ask anything.
and just recently shes been talkin to my family about seeing a naturalist\herbalist for my dad and for all of us, encouraging the less chemical treatments and more so on the natural ways. shes open minded and i think thats hard to find.
pm me if you would like the number. i have no idea if shes accepting patients, but i really think its worth the call. and the office is full of other great doctors.
