Accessing our Psychiatrists
To schedule a psychiatrist appointment, obtain a referral from your physician using our referral form. If you don’t have a physician, a Mental Health Nurse can help explore other options.
What to Expect
When you arrive for your scheduled appointment at Health Services (U216), new patients will complete paperwork and a mental health screening if needed. Bring your provincial health care card.
24-hour cancellation notice is required for all clinic physician appointments. Patients who no-show or provide insufficient notice of cancellation will be charged a fee of $150. You can leave us a message on our after-hours cancellation line.
