This page reorganizes practical advice from the clinic’s existing appointment-preparation page.
Before you arrive
- Plan to arrive about 10 minutes early so reception can update your information and prepare for the visit.
- If you have forms, complete your sections before the appointment and tell reception when you arrive. Form completion is generally not covered by OHIP and may involve a fee.
- Think about the reason for your visit and make a short list, with the most important concern first. Share it with your clinician at the start.
What to bring
- Your valid health card.
- Your immunization record when relevant.
- All medication bottles when possible, plus a current list showing names and doses.
- Vitamins, dietary supplements, and over-the-counter medications.
- Forms, reports, or instructions connected to the visit.
During the appointment
Some concerns need more than one visit. Prioritizing the most important issue helps the care team use the scheduled time safely and effectively.
