Consultations: Requests and Referrals

The Rudd Clinic concentrates on clinic-based out-patient investigation and treatment of colon and rectal ailments using the latest equipment and techniques. These techniques usually give better results than many of the older in-hospital methods, with less pain to the patient and less cost to the insurer.

Appointment Requests

As a specialized clinic, we are not able to accept requests for appointments directly from patients. A referral must first be faxed to our clinic from your primary care physician or family doctor. After this you will need to contact the clinic to book the appointment.

If you need to find a primary care physician, please check the doctor search service operated by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.

Please note that patients who are not insured under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (or any other Canadian public health insurance plan) will be charged directly for professional fees and treatments.

Referrals From Doctors

We welcome referrals from family practitioners and doctors, anywhere in Canada. Physicians, please use our convenient Referral Form for this purpose. For your convenience, the Form is available as a Adobe PDF file. To view and print the PDF file, you can download the free Adobe Reader if you don't already have it, or if you want to upgrade to the latest version.

If you prefer to receive the Referral Form by mail or telefax, please contact our clinic directly and request it. You can use the numbers and addresses we have provided in our Contact Us page for this purpose.

As a world-leading centre for treatment of diseases and afflictions of the colon and rectum, we offer compassionate care and specialized treatments that go beyond the scope of what can be provided in a general medical centre.

Please contact the Rudd Clinic for immediate attention on any case you wish to refer. You can use the numbers and addresses we have provided in our Contact Us page for this purpose. For medico-legal reasons, we are currently accepting referrals for Canadian patients only.
