Post referral
Once you have submitted the referral, our clinic will contact the patient’s family to schedule an appointment.
If there is a change in your patient's condition, please fax your notes to the clinic so our doctors have the most up-to-date information. These changes can include, but are not limited to, a lesion changing size or new imaging that provides more up-to-date information.
