How can I get my test results?

Your doctor will review all test results that you have done. If your doctor would like to see you to discuss the results, they will send a message to staff to call you to arrange an appointment. Most often, you will not receive a call for normal results, but you are always free to contact the office to book an appointment to review any tests that you have done.

Can my doctor fill out this form?

If you have any forms that you need the doctor to fill out, please bring them into the office as soon as you receive them. Form completion can take up to 60 days. Please make sure that all areas that pertain to you (e.g., name, health care number, address, signed consent etc.) are filled out before handing them in. Please note that there may be a charge for completion of the form.

How do I let staff know I’ve arrived for my appointment?

Upon arrival for your appointment, please check in at the front desk with your health card. Please bring your health card to every visit. If your address or phone number has changed, please advise reception staff when checking in.

What if I need a doctor when the office is closed?

Can I talk to my doctor on the phone?

Patients sometimes request to speak with their physicians by telephone. Throughout the day, your physician is busy caring for other patients, consulting with other physicians and providers and completing paperwork and does not have much available time during the day.

In order to see your physician, you must make an appointment. It is necessary for our staff to ask questions regarding the nature of your visit in order to assess your needs and the urgency of your appointment as well as to book sufficient time for your health concerns. Our team members are trained to follow the policies provided by your physician.
