Neurology

Supporting all conditions of the brain through the Hurvitz Brain Sciences Program, we treat patients and conduct research in areas such as stroke and neurodegenerative disease. As well, we offer EMG, EEG and sleep study laboratory services.

Making an appointment

A referral from a licensed physician in Ontario is required for new patients. Our clinics provide provincial specialty care for our catchment area only, as well as some specialized programs supported by the Ministry of Health which allow us to service patients from across the province of Ontario. All patients are triaged according to urgency and may be redirected to qualified physicians located near the patient's home location or who have expertise in a specific condition. Patients should discuss the need for a second opinion with their treating physician.

Referring a patient

• Incomplete/illegible referral forms will NOT be processed. Please make sure ALL patient demographics are included on the form. Do not send the patient’s entire medical file (only relevant information regarding the referral). 
• If patient is outside of the catchment area referrals will only be taken into consideration if they are from another neurologist.

Emergency Room patients:
If the patient was seen in the Sunnybrook ER, but NOT SEEN by the Neurology consult service & the issue is still URGENT (onset less than 2 months) contact the Rapid Neurology Clinic to see if a referral was made there: P: 416-480-6100 ext. 689124 F: 416-480-4833
