Our Approach to Care
At our practice, we are committed to evidence-based medicine, meaning that we use the best available science to guide our approach to your health and wellbeing. We collaborate with you to ensure that any tests or treatments we recommend are supported by clinical evidence and are truly necessary for your care. We avoid unnecessary interventions, including certain tests or treatments, and focus on what will genuinely benefit you. We believe in transparent, personalized care that prioritizes your safety and wellbeing, ensuring you receive the thoughtful, high-quality care you deserve.
Expectations for Your First Visit
The first visit is typically just a "meet and greet", giving you a chance to discuss your health with your doctor and to see whether the clinic is a good fit for you. There is only rarely enough time to investigate or treat any medical issues that you may be experiencing.
Depending on your health condition, we may need to obtain prior copies of your medical records before proceeding. However, our shared goal at this visit is to make and execute a plan for your healthcare moving forward, so that we can help you as soon as possible.
You might receive an email from 'North Toronto Medical Associates' or 'no-reply@northtorontomedical.ca' with a link to a pre-registration medical questionnaire. Although they are optional, your answers to these questionnaires are very helpful for your physician to obtain your medical history and to prepare for the visit.
