Important information about your
Appointment:
1) You must
bring your current health card to every visit. It is a requirement of the Ministry of
Health. If you do not present a valid health card you will be charged
for the visit.
2) Please ensure that we always have
your current phone number and address.
3) Due to frequent changes in our
schedule to accomodate emergencies and urgent surgery, we may be
required to reschedule your appointment.
4) If it's been longer than 2 years
since the last time you were here, you a new referral letter may be
necessary to help us communicate better with your referring doctor. If
no referral letter is sent or we may not be unable to book your
appointment or see you in an appropriate time frame.
5) Should the front desk be unattended,
please wait and someone will be with you shortly.
6) It is your responsibility to write
down your appointment date and time as we do not always contact patients
with a reminder.
7) If you are late for your appointment
we will do our best to accommodate you, but this is often not possible.
8) If you miss your appointment, you may
not always get the date or time that you want when we reschedule your
visit because we book 6 months in advance.
9) If you need to contact us, you can
reach us by phone (905-820-5464), fax (905-569-2377), or e-mail (visit
www.eyemd.bz,
or
www.budning.com).
10) Phone calls will be returned in
about 3-5 business days as we receive many calls each day. Please do not
leave multiple messages about the same issue, as this only slows down
the process of returning calls. Sending an e-mail for confirmation of an
appointment instead of calling us would be appreciated.
How to book an
appointment:
We offer 3 ways to book or cancel an appointment for current
patients.
PLEASE NOTE YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PRESENT YOUR OHIP CARD AT EACH VISIT.
All new patients must be
referred by a medical doctor, or an Optometrist along with a medical
doctor. When booking your appointment
your doctor will provide us with appropriate written information to
allow us to assess the urgency of your visit, so that we can
schedule your visit appropriately.
