Attention, Dr. Khan’s patients: important update

As of January 2, 2027, Dr. Khan will no longer be working at Westside Medical Associates. He is relocating outside of this area.

All current patients have the option to remain at this office and be assigned to an alternate physician.

Please let the front-desk staff know if you will be remaining at this clinic and if you have a preferred physician to transition to. Please be advised that not all the physicians at this office are accepting new patients. We will make every attempt to make this transition period as smooth as possible.

If you choose to seek a physician outside of this office, we will of course transfer your records free of charge.

Front desk: 250-768-6920

We wish Dr. Khan and his family the best of luck in their new adventure.

MBBS, MRCGP, CCFP

  • Dermatology
  • Minor skin surgery
  • Steroid injections

Dr. Varun Dravid has been practising as a doctor within the NHS since 2011, following his graduation from Norwich Medical School. He qualified as a family physician in 2017 and has since accumulated a diverse range of clinical experience, including roles as a salaried physician, physician partner, urgent care physician, and more recently as a physician with a specialist interest in dermatology.

Dr. Dravid has provided community dermatology services to NHS patients. He is proficient in the management of common dermatological conditions and skin lesions across all skin types. His clinical skills encompass steroid injections for specific joints and for keloid and hypertrophic scars, treatment of certain alopecia types, cryotherapy of benign lesions, and excision of minor skin lesions.

Despite his focused interest in dermatology, Dr. Dravid's principal dedication remains within family medicine. He is committed to delivering pragmatic and holistic care, with a strong emphasis on continuity and developing personalised relationships with his patients. Dr. Dravid particularly values patient education, especially in dermatology, to promote greater autonomy and understanding of chronic skin conditions.

Your family physician at this clinic

Each patient has a designated family physician, but has access to all the other physicians at the clinic if their own family physician is unavailable.

Because our physicians work as a group and cross-cover one another's patients, we are not able to transfer patients between physicians within the clinic. If at any point you wish to change to a different family physician, you would need to find one outside Westside Medical Associates.

Registered patients only Family medicine and our weekend walk-in clinics are available only to patients registered with a family physician at Westside Medical Associates. We are unable to see members of the public who are not registered with the clinic.
