How do I make an appointment?

 

If you are a new patient, we require a Doctor’s referral in order to book a consult with Dr. Binhammer. Make sure your referral has the full name of your Doctor as well as their billing number. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY REFERRALS WITHOUT A DOCTOR’S BILLING NUMBER. It is encouraged that patients bring with them to their visits any test results/reports, and/or related medical records. Always present your Ontario health card, as well as a current list of medications (herbal and non-herbal) and any allergies you may have

 

If you are a previous patient, the Ontario Ministry of Health now requires a new Doctor’s referral if you are returning over 1 year from your previous visit. Please make sure your referral has the full name of your Doctor as well as their billing number
