How to be referred without
a family doctor
If you do not have a family doctor, there are
a few extra steps I will have you take before I will see you. This is to make
sure that the problems your child is having match my expertise.
(This only applies to people whose permanent address is in Southwest Nova Scotia)
Non-emergent consultations
- Fill
out the questionnaire and send it to me. Click here
for the questionnaire
- Within
a couple of days my secretary will contact you. She most likely will have
you fill out some other rating scales and forms. She might want to get
some information about the child from other people who have seen him or
her (for example, mental health clinics)
- My
secretary will contact you and either give you an appointment or suggest
someone else in the community who would be better suited for your child to
see initially.
Emergent Consultations
If your child is acting in a
very strange way or you are afraid for your child's safety, go to
outpatients/ER at one of the local hospitals and they will contact me directly.
