The Referral
Process
The referral process starts with a visit to your family doctor or general practitioner (GP). If the doctor feels you require treatment by a specialist, they can make a referral through FAST. More information on FAST and the referral process for physicians can be found below:
Once the referral has been processed by FAST, it will be sent to our clinic. We will send you (the patient) a letter with an appointment date and time once it has been scheduled.
Every patient’s treatment journey is unique. You can find more information about our care pathways by clicking one of the buttons below:
Once received from FAST, referrals are entered into our system daily so that patients are put into the queue for an assessment as quickly as possible; patients are seen in order of their referral date.
The clinic team works hard to ensure that an appointment to see the assessment physician or surgeon is booked as soon as possible. Wait times do vary and are based on the number of patients waiting and physician availability.
A letter with the appointment date and detailed instructions will be mailed to you once an assessment or a consult appointment is booked.
