In ON, medical consultations with specialists like Dr. Danial are typically covered by your provincial health insurance (Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP)) when you present a valid health card and have the required referral.

Some specific procedures, forms, or administrative tasks might not be covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) and may incur a separate fee according to provincial guidelines. Please inquire if you have questions about uninsured services.

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. Danial. As experts in Internal Medicine and Geriatric Care, Internists and Geriatricians see patients based on specific medical questions posed by the referring doctor.

Does Dr. Bahauddin Hasan Danial handle prescription refills?

Can Dr. Danial provide advice on healthy aging?

Yes, as part of a comprehensive assessment, Dr. Danial can discuss evidence-based strategies for healthy aging.

Why is reviewing multiple medications (polypharmacy) important?

As people age or develop multiple health conditions, they often take many medications. Polypharmacy increases the risk of side effects, drug interactions, falls, confusion, and non-adherence. A careful review helps ensure each medication is truly necessary, effective, and safe, potentially leading to deprescribing (stopping unnecessary drugs) and simplifying the regimen.

Is the focus mainly on diseases or also on daily function?

While diagnosing and managing diseases like Management of Patients with Multiple Comorbidities or Chronic Respiratory Diseases is crucial, Dr. Danial also places significant emphasis on maintaining or improving daily function and quality of life, especially for older adults. The goal is often to help patients remain as independent and active as possible, addressing issues like mobility, self-care, and participation in meaningful activities.
