Can I book an appointment directly or do I absolutely need a referral?

A referral from your family physician or another medical specialist is required to see Dr. Grover.

What is involved in a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)?

Dr. Grover uses this holistic approach to develop a personalized care plan.
