APPOINTMENTS

Appointments are made for the earliest available clinic date, depending on urgency. It is important that your family doctor or referring physician relay to the clinic if you need to be seen more urgently.

DURING YOUR VISIT

- Family members are encouraged to come with the patient.

-Advance thought should be given to questions. You are encouraged to write them down to help you remember.
