Contact Me
Are You a Patient / Family That Is Currently Seeing Me?
If so, please call my office and speak to my admin for non-urgent matters at 613-738-6990.
I can usually call back in 1-2 business days.
Do You Need a Medication Refill?
Consider asking the pharmacy if they can give you an extension — pharmacists have some discretion to give an extension of a few days or a week.
Ask your pharmacy to fax a medication refill request to me at fax 613-738-4891, and allow for at least a few days lead time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q. Can you tell me about what mental health services would be best in my situation?
A. I am sorry, but I do not have the ability to answer questions about specific mental health services.
Visit www.ementalhealth.ca or contact MentalHealthHelp (www.mentalhealthhelpline.ca) in Ontario; or KidsHelpPhone.ca for more information about services.
Q. Do you accept referrals?
A. No, as I do not have control over which patients I can see. I do not have a practice practice; rather, I work at CHEO and I see patients assigned to me through CHEO intake. You are free to contact your family physician and see if your child might benefit from a referral to CHEO, but note that referrals to specific physicians is usually NOT possible.
Q. What services would you recommend for my child/youth in Ottawa area?
A. Contact 1Call1Click.ca for information about services in Ottawa.
If you are wondering about mental health services for a child/youth (up to age 16), then start by speaking with your family physician.
Typical services include:
* Walk-in clinics such as the Youth Services Bureau or Crossroads if your issue is urgent/semi-urgent
* Youth Services Bureau
* Crossroads Children's Centre
* Private practice counselors such as psychologists, social workers, or certified counselors
For more information, view our CHEO handout on Mental Health Services in Ottawa.
If I am not seeing you already, then I am very sorry that I cannot answer you. The volume of email inquiries is so overwhelming that I cannot answer questions from the general public.
