Please read the referral and appointment information below before sending us your appointment request or enquiry:
For referring offices New patients are seen by referral only. The practice is open to both adults and children. Referrals must be faxed to 416 864-3033. If the appointment is medically urgent, doctors must clearly indicate this on the referral note. Dr. Vadas reviews all requests for medically urgent consideration.
Our office contacts patients directly with appointment information. Doctors' offices needing confirmation that an appointment has been scheduled, please indicate this on your referral note. We will fax back confirmation after the appointment is booked.
For patients Our office experiences a very high volume of telephone traffic. For this reason, we encourage e-mail appointment booking and enquiries. Please do not e-mail confidential medical information.
Due to the very high volume of e-mail and telephone requests, we ask that patients EITHER e-mail about appointments, OR telephone - please, not both.
Dr. Vadas does not provide test results, medical advice or prescription repeats by telephone, fax or e-mail. Patients may schedule an appointment with our office for these services, or contact their family doctor.
