It may take a couple of weeks to complete forms, make sure you fill in the patients name and demographics before sending it to us by fax, attachment on our contact tab on this website, mail or drop off at reception. We will notify you when it is ready.

Some forms (ie: camp and school trips) require a visit to the office. Check the form and if they require blood pressure, a recent physical, please book an appointment. Note: we book physicals 3 months in advance so plan ahead for summer camp etc.

Forms will be filled out by your own doctor. If your doctor is out of the office and you leave it until last minute, you may be disappointed.

Most forms are not covered by OHIP, there will be a charge.

A referral from your pediatrician or family physician is needed to see a specialist. Referrals need to be faxed if you want to see one of our specialists at Clairhurst. You and your doctor will be notified of the appointment.

Annual Physicals: Our pediatricians are often booked a few months in advance, especially for the beginning and end of day appointments.

For non-urgent appointments, we are booking 4 – 6 weeks ahead.

Of course, if your child is sick or the condition cannot wait, use the contact tab, send a message with brief description of your concern, add a photo if its visible (ie: rash, pink eye, wound, red throat). Your message will be returned the same day.

Our phone lines are extremely busy, it is better to use the contact tab on the website, we will get back to you.

We endeavor to return phone calls and messages in a timely manner,

However, with phone messages, often bad reception from mobile phones, inaudible (speaking quietly, background noise, not leaving a clear phone number or name) prevents us from returning calls.

Website messages: This method is much easier as we have the patients details so we can look up the details and phone numbers that are often typed in in-correctly.

Please bear in mind that requests often need an answer or action from the doctor.  Our doctors are busy with patients throughout the day, so often it takes a few days to compile the information needed to respond.  Sometimes your pediatrician is on vacation and your message waiting for them to return.

Sick or newborn babies will always have a prompt response if your message is clear.

Not all services are covered by OHIP.  You will receive an invoice if you have received a service that your OHIP does not cover.  For example: letters, camp forms, prescription repeats and physicals, missed appointments.
