FAQs

Medication renewals

Before your appointment, please always check the number of refills left on your medications and let your physician know should you need any refills.  Prescriptions should usually be renewed during an appointment.  Please do not wait until you only have 1 or 2 pills left before contacting us.  It is your responsibility to make an appointment before your prescription expires.

Forms

​

When you give us forms to complete, please ensure that you have always filled out your section first.  Almost all forms will require, at a minimum, your signature authorizing your physician to complete the form.

Please do not wait until the last minute to give us forms!   We try to complete forms in a timely manner and are usually able to complete them within 14 to 21 days.  Please note that as per our College, we have up to 45 days to complete forms.  

​

Please note that the completion of most forms is not covered by OHIP or RAMQ.  For more information regarding fees, please visit the uninsured services section.

We need to know the nature of your medical problem in order to schedule you properly and have the nurse do the appropriate vital signs before your appointment with the physician.  

Missed Appointments and Late Arrivals

We do our best to be on time for our patients.  If you arrive more than 5 minutes late for your appointment, we will not be able to see you as planned.  Appointments that are missed or canceled with less than 24h notice are charged as per the guidelines set out by the Ontario Medical Association.
