What to Expect
About Your Appointment
Your doctor or specialist at the Health Sciences Centre will give you the details of your appointment. If you have several appointments on different days, it may be possible to book all appointments on one day. Contact your primary care provider’s office to find out (the further ahead you can arrange this, the better).
Please bring all appointment forms with you to your appointment. If you need help finding where your appointment is at the Health Sciences Centre, you can give these forms to Admitting or the Information Desk and they will help you find the way.
