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. Ahsan.

This ensures continuity of care and that the consultation is appropriate for your needs. Please have your doctor forward the referral information.
