HOW TO SEE US

A Family Physician or Specialist must submit a referral request in order for us to see you. Ask your doctor to do this on your behalf if you would like to see a Physiatrist.

We use a pooled referral system and you will be booked into the first available appointment, depending on your clinical concerns. You may be contacted by our clinic nurses for screening questions prior to your appointment.  

You will be sent a confirmation notice as well as a medical history questionnaire to complete once your appointment is booked. Please complete this questionnaire before arriving at Wascana for your appointment.
