appointment information

Routine and non-urgent appointments

All routine and non-urgent assessments (ie physicals, new patient visits, routine follow-ups, medical exams for insurance/employment purposes) we have been advised to postpone for 3 months

  • We are encourage our patients to take care of themselves to the best of their ability at home if they do not have urgent health care needs.

    • Some of our physicians offer video visits by way of the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN), and if this is something you would like to participate in, please contact our office.

    • Additionally, if you would like an appointment by phone, please call our office and arrange this with one of our photos.

    • Some appointments are better suited to telemedicine appointments compared to others. Appointments that would be most amenable to these forms of telemedicine would be:

      • Prescription refills.

        • Most prescription refills can be initiated by your pharmacist, as they have the up to date information as to whether or not you have refills available.

      • Reviewing results.

      • Blood pressure check ups with your home blood pressure monitor, along with records of home blood pressure readings. Click here to find valuable resources.

      • Diabetic check ups with your home blood pressure monitor and glucose monitor readings. Click here to find some valuable resources to help you with this.

      • Counselling for mental health conditions.

    • Appointments not in this list can be booked for a telemedicine visit, however, physical examinations will have to be deferred to a later date.
