Q. What should I do before my first Gynecology visit?

Please print the following two documents, fill them out and bring them to the office. This is information about your demographics and your health history that will help us get to know you. Present them to the front desk staff on arrival and they will update your medical record.

Q. Do you offer same day appointments?

We offer same day or urgent appointments for some Ob/Gyn issues. If the office is closed or if an appointment is not available you may access care through the Emergency Department, through your family doctor's office or, if you are pregnant, the labor room of Brantford General Hospital.

Q. What are your hours of operation?

Our office operates Monday - Friday 9:00AM to 4:00PM. Please note we are closed for lunch between 12:00PM and 1:00PM. There are occasional days during the week that the office may be closed for part of the day.

Q. How long will it take to get an appointment?

Each referral we receive gets carefully triaged and each patient's wait time depends on the urgency of her problem. We will contact your family doctor with an appointment time and they will contact you with instructions.

Q. Rebooking appointments
