To consult a specialist

Usually, specialists only see patients who have been referred by a general practitioner. If you feel that you need a consultation with a specialist, you must speak with your family doctor or a doctor at a walk-in clinic first.

If your doctor suggests an EMERGENCY consultation, he or she will direct you appropriately. If the consultation is not urgent, your doctor or the clinic staff will provide you with the address and number of hospitals or clinics that you may contact to make an appointment. You must then handle the process yourself.

The ambulatory care center of the Lakeshore General Hospital offers, with a doctor’s referral, services in several specialities.
