How do I find a pediatrician in Ontario?

Steps to take

1. Ask a primary-care clinician whether pediatric referral is appropriate.
2. Confirm the pediatric clinic’s age and referral criteria.
3. Ask whether a general pediatric, developmental or condition-specific clinic is suitable.
4. Follow up with the referring office if confirmation does not arrive.

Keep your information organized

Write down clinic names, dates contacted and the next step each office gave you. Keep medical information with your care providers. Do not send diagnoses, health-card numbers or records to Aafiyat Outreach Centre.
