Please note that we do not accept referrals for hereditary hemochromatosis, ehlers danlos type III (hypermobility type) and many non-mendelian (single gene) conditions.

An estimated wait time will be provided shortly after receiving the initial referral.

All referrals are triaged. Most urgent referrals take priority for services and may be seen within 3 weeks or less. Less urgent referrals have wait lists that are dependent on the referral indication. All triage decisions are communicated to referring physicians.
