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. Paikin. As experts in Internal Medicine and Geriatric Care, Internists and Geriatricians see patients based on specific medical questions posed by the referring doctor. This ensures continuity of care and that the consultation is appropriate for your needs. Please have your doctor forward the referral information.
- Is Dr. Paikin affiliated with a specific hospital?
- Hospital privileges can vary. Dr. Paikin may have admitting privileges or provide consultation services at Oakville's local hospitals. This affiliation allows for coordinated care if hospitalization is required. If you are admitted, the hospital team may consult Dr. Paikin as needed, or he might be involved in your care depending on the specific hospital and service arrangements.

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