NURSE PRACTITIONER
Our Nurse Practitioner, Clea Lang, is currently taking on new patients. Patients registering with the Nurse Practitioner will have most of their care managed by Clea; she will consult with one of the physicians in the office if needed. This will allow us to expand the number of patients we look after in this office, as part of the Family Health Team. To register with Clea, please call the office (416-222-3011) and the secretary will give you an appointment to see her.
OPEN ACCESS BOOKING
We currently use an Open Access Booking System; if you need an appointment, you can usually be seen on the same day; if I am not in the office that day, you can be seen by our Nurse Practioner or I will see you by the next clinic day. For more information please see our Open Access page
Welcome to my personal home page; the web page for the practice is http://mydoctor.ca/nyfht705. I am a Family Physician in Toronto, on staff at North York General Hospital. For detailed information about office policies, please see my Practice Brochure. I am a member of a Family Health Team, the North York FHT; our Team includes several Allied Health Professionals to help you manage your health.
The capable Allied Health Professionals in this primary care care practice are:
Our Clinical Pharmacist, Jon Hunchuck. Jon is our Expert on medications; he can help you understand and manage prescription medications, herbals and over the counter drugs. Jon also makes recommendations for changes if needed, and manages some chronic health conditions (such as diabetes) as part of the Team.
Our Dietitian can help you to manage chronic conditions and prevent health problems through improvements in your diet. More information on Dietitians can be found at http://www.cdo.on.ca/en/aboutRD/default.asp
Our Social Worker can help you when you go through difficult periods in your life. She provides counseling to help you cope, and can help you find addtional resources in the community.
You can see our Pharmacist, Dietitian or Social Worker in this office; all appointments require a referral from the physician or nurse practioner, so please speak with us if you feel you would benefit from their services.
We moved to a new, larger office in August of 2009; this allows us to take better advantage of the new programs and resources in our Family Health Team. There is a laboratory in suite 706, right beside the office; lab hours are 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday (closed for lunch between 12:45 and 1:30). Diagnostic Imaging (XRs and Ultrasounds) is located on the 8th floor, suite 804; there is a pharmacy on the main floor.
The office is at 240 Duncan Mill Road on the 7th floor. The office is easily accessible by Public Transit: from the Don Mills subway station, take the #25 bus Southbound; it will bring you to the corner of Don Mills and Duncan Mills, and it is a 5 minute walk to our office. Alternatively, from the York Mills Subway station, take the #122 bus; it stops at 255 Duncan Mills, which is the next building over. There is paid parking at the building; please make sure that you get your parking tag at one of the vending machines, and leave it on your windshield.

can be found at my After Hours Page. As well, the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care maintains an on-line database of health care options.
These are some of the sites I would recommend if you wish to look up medical information:
Medline Plus
http://medlineplus.gov (this
is a very large, well organized source of patient information)
Health Canada
The Public Health Agency of Canada (a very good Canadian source of health information)
Centers for Disease Control
(travel information)
Patient
information brochures (excellent brochures from the College of
Family
Physicians of Canada)
I have an interest in preventive
health care , evidence-based medicine, and primary care research.
I also believe that Information Technology has a very large role to
play
in terms of improving patients' care: I have used an Electronic Medical Record since 2006 and the practice is fully computerized. All Team members use a common electronic chart, and there are no paper records at all. I kept an online dairy detailing the implementation of the EMR in this practice at http://drgreiver.blogspot.com/
