Clinic Policies
Health Cards: It is crucial that the office has accurate information on every patient. Please bring your HEALTH CARD to EVERY appointment and walk-in clinic visit. If your Health Card is not valid, your appointment will not be covered by OHIP and therefore a cash fee will apply and be due at time of visit - see the list of fees below.
Missed appointment: 12-24 hours notice for the cancellation of an appointment is appreciated. However, the office is understanding that emergencies due come up and notice can not always be given.
Scheduling of appointments: Appointments can be made by calling the office at 519-853-4449 or by emailing the clinic using the email tab on this website
Medication Renewals: see the Medication Renewal page
Referrals: It can take 3-4 weeks or longer for a specialist's office or certain diagnostic testing centres to get back to our office regarding the scheduling of a consultation appointment or diagnostic test. If you have not heard from our office within 4 weeks, please feel free to contact the office.
Pre-Op Forms: No longer required for surgery and are therefore, no longer covered under OHIP
Test Results: We do not routinely call patients with normal test results, nor is there a need to book an appointment to check these results unless you have been specifically advised to do so. If there is a concern about your results you will be contacted. All reports are reviewed by the doctor prior to filing. However, patients should feel free to contact the office at anytime regarding test results.
