No. Dr. D only consults (meets and advises) on learning, behaviour and mental health challenges. She will work closely with your child to establish school, community and behaviour supports, but your child will need their usual family doctor and/or pediatrician for ongoing medical care.
For Dr. DeBruyne to get to know your child, parents MUST be able to speak proficient English. If your English is less than proficient, please arrange to have a translator come with you to the appointment.
Thank you for your understanding.
Please be aware that if you are 15 minutes late for your appointment, we will need to reschedule your appointment.
You will be subject to a fee ($200 for a new consultation, $100 for a follow-up), which must be paid prior to re-booking.
To ensure we can accommodate all of our patients, we kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for any cancellations.
Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice will be subject to a cancellation fee ($200 for a new consultation, $100 for a follow-up), as this time could have been offered to another patient in need.
Similarly, if you no-show for your appointment (ex. no cancellation, no explanation), you will be subject to a no-show fee ($200 for a new consultation, $100 for a follow-up), and/or a new referral may be required.
All fees must be paid prior to re-booking.
If you have not confirmed your appointment within 48 hours of your appointment date, either by phone, voicemail message or email, your appointment may be given to the next available patient.
We strive to keep our wait times minimal as there is an increasing need for patients to be seen at our clinic.
We are committed to providing a safe, secure, and respectful environment for all patients and staff. We will not tolerate any verbal or physical aggression, harassment and/or rudeness.
All medication refills require a faxed request from your pharmacy. To avoid the stress of running out of medication with no refills, please plan to get refills at least one week before the prescription runs out.
