Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Referral Letter to book an appointment?

A referral letter from a family physician is recommended for new patients. Existing patients of our practice can book their own follow-up appointment using this website.

Once a referral letter is sent how long does it take to book an appointment?

Wait times vary but can be anywhere from a few days up to 3 to 6 weeks.

How long will my appointment take?

The physician you’re seeing is a specialist and can be called upon to provide advice and assistance to other doctors throughout the day. We suggest not booking other appointments on the day of your visit to avoid potential conflicts. Budgeting at least an hour for your appointment is suggested.

Can I come to my appointment if I am on my period?

Yes, you are welcome to come to your appointment

Which hospital do I go to for ER/Surgery/Labour & Delivery
