Do I have to go through my family doctor, or could I go straight to the specialist?


Yes, your family physician would remain the first point of contact and will determine if referral to a specialist is the appropriate next step in your health care journey. Most specialists do not accept patients without a referral from a family physician. If you do not currently have a family physician, the Emergency Department would be able to provide a referral if deemed necessary.
