I'm looking for eMedical enabled physicians in Toronto who could give time slot at the earliest.. I have booked for next Wednesday at Dr Dharmavathy (3852 Finch Avenue East) but looking to find out if there could be any other place earlier than that also closer to me.. I live at dundas st w and bloor.. Any insight would be really helpful.. Thanks..
I'm in GTA too and I've been looking up doctors who upload results fast. It's actually not that important that you book appointment with the earliest available doctor because if he/she uploads your results late, you end up being worse off than booking a later appointment with a doctor who uploads fast. Read comments in this thread: "eMedical enabled CIC Panel physicians".
I called around and asked for doctors' timeline of uploading results. I was told (by the receptionist) it takes John C Kuhlmann (in Mississauga) 2 whole weeks to upload results (some ppl complain it being even longer), while it takes the Kitchener doctors 4 days to upload results. As far as I know the fast doctors in GTA are booked up way in advance, while the Kitchener doctors have empty slots open (they claim same day is even possible on their website). I was able to get an appointment 2 days in advance. I highly recommend you go to Kitchener if possible, I've only found positive reviews about Dr. Violet Shadd or Daniel Garrett so far. The receptionist was also extremely helpful on the phone.
Oh another thing to consider, for many doctors you need to go to multiple places to get xray and blood test, but for Kitchener you get everything done in the same building. The cost is only $188 which is one of the cheapest options out there.
On a side note, I can't post links in threads, anyone know how that can be changed? Thanks!
