Frequently asked questions
General1
Call us during the day and ask to be seen the same day (we have appointments set aside each day for urgent visits). We are also part of a group of doctors who share on-call for all our patients on evenings and weekends. You can walk into or call our After Hours clinic and be seen the same day. Visit http://myowndoctor.ca/ (http://www.myowndoctor.ca/)to find out today’s on-call doctor. For medical emergencies please call 911 or proceed to the nearest emergency department.
When booking an appointment, please make sure to book a separate appointment for everyone that needs to be seen. We see patients by scheduled appointments and do our best to run on time. To be fair to patients who booked an appointment, those patients without an appointment may have to wait until the end of clinic day to be seen.
We only see patients by scheduled appointment. If you show up without an appointment and the doctor’s schedule is full we may not be able to accommodate your request. We have special same-day appointments every day so that patients with urgent problems can be seen right away. Please call early in the day to book one of these appointments. To help us be prepared for your visit we ask that you call and schedule your visit in advanced.
Sure. Forms can us 4 weeks to complete, so please drop them off early. If it’s something complicated you may need to speak to us first.
