Referral overview
Patients need a referral from a doctor or a nurse practitioner to access care at this clinic.
Referral steps
Referring providers must complete a referral form (PDF) or write their own referral letter and fax it to 604-642-8891.
Please include information including:
- Pubertal/menstrual status
- Recent blood work, including Hgb and CBC for patients with heavy menstrual bleeding
- Most recent imaging reports for patients with ovarian/pelvic masses or congenital anomalies
- Relevant consultations from other providers
We assess patients based on urgency. Please contact us if the patient’s condition changes. Forward any new results or investigations that were not included in the original referral.
Once providers have submitted a referral, they do not need to take further action. Our administrative team will notify the referring provider when/if a patient has been accepted.
If our team declines the referral, we will send a notification to the referring provider.
