Clinical Team and Policies

Our team includes board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons who are active members of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

Please beware of our referral and appointment booking policies:

To ensure timely access, given the high demand for skin lesion assessment, we prioritize referrals for specific lesions of concern when scheduling. We do not assess or treat other general dermatologic issues, such as rashes.
We do accommodate full body skin exams (FBSEs) for very high risk patients, This is usually done by a general practitioner with special focus in dermatology. If you require that your patient to only be seen by a dermatologist (not a GP derm), please send us a new referral each year. This is in keeping with recommendations by Cancer Care Ontario detailed below.
For patients with a referral in the past year, we will assess any new lesions of concerns without additional referrals. They may book with us directly.
