Office Policies
As with any business we do have a few policies and procedures in place to ensure our office runs as smoothly as possible. All our appointments are booked appointments, walk-ins are only for the evening clinic time slots. If a patient fails to show for an appointment, or cancels within 24 hrs of the appointment there is a possibility you will be billed for that appointment. Kindly indicate the general nature of the problem to the reception staff so that appointments can be appropriately scheduled. "Complete physicals, counseling and psychotherapy," are consider long appointments, thus requiring more time. "Short appointments" will allow time to cover most other problems.
Prescriptions:
It is the responsibility of each patient to monitor the amount of medication and refills they have at all times, and ideally when running low to book an appointment. Our physicians make every effort to provide ample repeats so that you don't run out of medication. In the event you have, and an appointment with your MD is not available, our nursing staff will renew you medications for one month until you can be seen.
Third party services
Third party services are services that are not covered by OHIP. These generally include notes, forms, cosmetic procedures, or tests requested by a third party that is not a doctor. Below is a list of third party services and their costs.
