Please note:

• Our clinic does not treat gynecologic, head and neck, primary CNS malignancies, or melanoma.
• Referrals may be declined if the patient’s postal code falls outside the Unity Health catchment area (i.e., does not begin with “M”). In such cases, please contact us directly or consider referring to a local Cancer Centre. Exceptions may be made in special circumstances or if the patient has other healthcare providers at Unity Health.
• Second opinions may be considered if requested by the MD currently providing specialist care or in unique circumstances (e.g., to access clinical trials or highly specialized care). In these cases, we kindly ask that you also contact the oncologist directly via phone or secured hospital email.
• Please include relevant clinical notes, radiology reports, and pathology results with each referral. If tests are booked or results are pending, please indicate this in your referral.
• We strive to see new patients within 2–4 weeks in accordance with Cancer Care Ontario guidelines. For referrals requiring more urgent attention, please contact our department directly. True emergencies should be directed to the emergency department.
