CLAIRHURST PEDIATRICS COVID-19 UPDATE
WE ARE DOING OUR BEST TO STAY OPEN AND HELP OUR PATIENTS WHO NEED MEDICAL CARE WHILE INSURING THE SAFETY OF ALL OUR PATIENTS AND STAFF AND WE NEED YOUR HELP:
1.WALK IN CLINIC IS CANCELLED – IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK, DO NOT COME TO THE CLINIC. PLEASE USE THE CONTACT US TAB HERE ON THE WEBSITE, SEND US A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE SICKNESS WITH A NUMBER WE CAN REACH YOU AND A DR WILL RETURN YOUR CALL. IF IT CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY PHONE, An APPOINTMENT MAY BE GIVEN.
2. IF YOU HAVE TRAVELLED OUT OF PROVINCE OR COUNTRY IN THE LAST 14 DAYS, STAY HOME, SELF ISOLATE AND USE STEP 1 IF YOU ARE SICK
3. CROWD CONTROL: PLEASE LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMING TO OUR OFFICE, IF POSSIBLE LEAVE OTHER CHILDREN AND FAMILY MEMBERS AT HOME.
4. APPOINTMENTS: IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK DO NOT COME TO YOUR APPOINTMENT, FOLLOW STEP 1 ABOVE. OUR DR’S WILL BE CONSULTING VIA PHONE AND VIDEO CONFERENCING FOR ALL NON URGENT MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS(Check ups that can’t wait, counselling, general follow-ups). GENERAL CHECK UPS DO NOT NEED TO COME TO THE OFFICE AND CAN BE REBOOKED IN THE FALL. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR OUR NEWBORNS AND YOUNG BABIES TO COME FOR THEIR NECESSARY WELL VISITS AND VACCINES IN A CLEAN AND SAFER ENVIRONMENT. Only ONE person should accompany the child to an appointment.
5. PRESCRIPTION REFILLS: To avoid coming to the office please send a message via the website with ALL of the following: NAME OF THE MEDICATION, PHARMACY FAX NUMBER. Our staff will not be calling pharmacies for the fax number and many prescriptions are not accepted over the phone.
6. CANCELLATIONS: Many patients are “not showing up” for appointments, a call or message is required 48 hours prior; of course, if things change with the Government Guidelines we will let you know as we re-arrange our office practices to keep everyone safe. We have babies and children that do still need to see the Dr and they would like your spot if you are not coming.

A referral from your family physician or pediatrician is required by fax to book an appointment with one of our specialists. Appointments are sent to the referring doctor.
Send a message to us using the Medical Advice form under the Private Services tab and we will forward your question to the nurse or doctor. Please note, this is not covered by OHIP and there may be a charge. Often you will receive a call back to book an appointment as many conditions need to be seen or listened to for a diagnosis and/or treatment advice. (eg: breathing & coughing, bleeding and skin issues)
Some forms require the patient to have been seen recently, please check the form and book an appointment for a physical if necessary, (eg. blood pressure, height & weight is requested on the form).
It may take a couple of weeks to complete forms, make sure you have filled in the patients name and demographics before sending it to us by fax, mail or drop off at reception, be sure to include a number that we can reach you at when it is ready for pick up.
Many forms are not covered by OHIP, check the un-insured services page on our website or contact us for cost.
Annual Physical: Our pediatricians are often booked a few months in advance, especially for those popular after school appointments so please plan ahead.
For non-urgent appointments we can be booking two or three weeks ahead.
Of course, if your child is sick or the condition cannot wait, come in during the times posted for our daily walk in or weekend schedule.
If it is an Emergency go directly to your nearest Hospital Emergency Department or call 911

The patients (MOH OHIP) health card is not valid, it may have expired or is inactive. You need to go to Service Ontario or call the number on the back of the green OHIP card
We endeavour to return all calls in a timely manner, however; often bad reception from mobile phones, inaudible (speaking to quietly, background noise, not leaving a clear phone number or name) prevents us from returning calls.
Sometimes it can take a few days for us to compile information or get the answers needed. If you have not received a return call in 2 days, please call again or send a message using the contact us tab on the website.
