The referral forms can be found under the Patient Info section of our website.

Please note that we can only assess one injury/one body part per visit. If you have more than one injury that requires an assessment by one of our physicians, you may be asked to book an additional appointment.

Many of the other services and products provided at our clinic (physiotherapy, massage therapy, orthotics, medical compression stockings, orthopedic braces) may be covered by your private health insurance provider. To confirm coverage, you would need to check your health insurance policy.

If you do not have a valid Canadian health card or if you have Quebec Health Insurance, you will have to pay a fee for any consultations and follow-ups with our physicians.

Some services provided by our physicians are NOT insured by MSI so a fee will be charged to the patient:

• Tray fee for injections to cover the cost of the supplies
• Completion of forms
• Provision of a note to excuse the patient from work
• PRP injections

For the services and products provided by other healthcare professionals at our clinic that are not covered by your Health Card or your health insurance provider, would require a fee to be paid for these services.

Your appointment time is reserved especially for you. We require 24 hours, or one business day, notice of a cancellation by telephone or email. Late cancellations or unattended appointments will incur a full appointment fee.
