Prescriptions

Prescription renewals should be done when you are seeing your doctor. There is $25 fee for prescriptions written without an appointment. This fee covers the administrative costs as this service is not covered by OHIP.

Appointments

If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance so that another patient may have the opportunity to see the doctor. Remember, if you cancel an appointment without sufficient notice, you may be charged by the doctor for the visit time not used. The amount could be from $40 to $150.

Health Insurance

We are members of the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Your health insurance card needs to be checked at every visit as required by the Ministry of health. If you do
not have insurance coverage, you will be billed directly for the service provided.

Information and Referrals

Please keep us informed of any changes of name, Home and Email addresses, telephone number or health insurance information so that we may keep our files current. Welcome to give us your mobile phone number or work number and your pharmacy name and location.

You must see a physician before a referral to a specialist can be made.

Test Results

We receive many laboratory and X-ray reports every day; therefore it is not possible to notify each patient of the test results. You will be contacted directly about any abnormal
test results or results that require a follow-up appointment.

It is your responsibility to give us your correct phone
number and address (including correct email address) to insure that we can reach you! If you have any questions about your test results, please make an appointment with your doctor as we do not give test result information over the telephone without your doctor’s approval.

Our Telephone System

We prefer to see all patients by appointment. Our well-trained staff will try to accommodate every emergency to ensure that you see your own doctor or another available physician. To make an appointment, please call the office at 343-477-0163 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, except holidays.

You must stay on the line to have your call answered in the order it was received, you are only able to leave a message when the switchboard is closed.
