In ON, medical consultations with specialists like Dr. Roitman 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.

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. Roitman.

Referrals are typically appropriate for adults with complex diagnostic challenges, poorly controlled chronic diseases (like advanced Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) or Thyroid Disorders), multiple interacting medical conditions, or unexplained symptoms.

Your family doctor can best determine if a specialist consultation is needed.

Does Dr. Roitman handle prescription refills?

Generally, ongoing prescription refills should be managed through your family doctor (primary care provider). Dr. Roitman will make initial recommendations or adjustments, but routine refills are best handled by your family doctor who manages your overall care, unless specific arrangements are made for certain specialized medications.
