Referral Process
Consultation Request
A consultation with one of our sport medicine physicians can only be arranged after we receive a referral from a licensed health care professional.
After our office has received a consultation request in writing from your physician, we will contact you by phone to arrange for a consultation with one of our sport medicine physicians
Appointment
Once seen in consultation by our sport medicine physicians, repeat follow-up appointments can be booked within 1 year without another referral letter from the referring physician.
If a year has passed since your last appointment you will require another referral from a licensed physician to be seen again
Follow Up
Follow-up appointments may be booked by phoning our office at 403-251-9535. The doctors are very busy and Walk-in appointments are not available. Please do not walk in without an appointment, as you will not be seen
Cancellation Policy
If you are unable to attend your appointment, please inform us at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment to avoid a no-show fee

Patients who “no show” for 3 appointments in a row will not be rebooked to see our sport medicine physicians unless another referral is sent from the referring physician’s office
