Estimated Referral Time
Upon receipt of your referral, Dr. Miller will triage your case based on urgency. This is done using the information provided by your primary care provider in the initial letter. If there is no description of symptoms within the referral, it is assumed to be elective. Due to volume of referrals received, providing individual wait times is extremely difficult.
If you feel that your condition is worsening while awaiting consultation, please have your primary care provider send an update regarding your symptoms or contact our office directly.
Dr. Miller requires your imaging and pathology to be available for your initial appointment in order to have all necessary information for a complete consultation. If this has not been completed despite a report received by your primary care provider asking for the same, Dr. Miller’s office will notify your doctor or nurse practitioner to fill out the necessary requisitions and forward them to the appropriate departments. Alternatively, she may send you for further diagnostic investigations prior to your consultation. Radiology and biopsy wait times are not within Dr. Miller’s control and estimates for this cannot be provided by our office.
A general guideline is as follows:
URGENT - Within 1-3 weeks e.g. a new cancer diagnosis
PRIORITY -Within 3-6 months e.g. symptomatic gallstones or hernia
ELECTIVE - 6 months to 1 year e.g. asymptomatic surgical concern, benign lump for excision, etc.
Your initial consultation may take place over the phone, in clinic, in the endoscopy suite, or in the outpatient department depending on the condition.
