Family medicine
Rexdale Medical Centre is comprised of 9 family physicians to meet all your primary care needs.
Periodic Medical Exams
Many patients still believe that they need to have an annual health exam performed by their physician. In truth, the frequency of these exams depends on your age,gender, family medical history and individual medical history. Your physician at Rexdale Medical will be able to give you clear guidance as to how frequent you need a periodic medical examination.
All physicians at Rexdale Medical strongly encourage their patients to have periodic cancer prevention testing. Pap smears are recommended for all women ages 21 -70 every 3 years. Colon cancer screening is advised for all patients between the ages of 50 – 74 and mammography is generally recommended every 2 years for women between 50 – 74.
Onsite lab
Rexdale Medical Centre is pleased to offer our patients onsite laboratory services. The lab is able to accept blood, urine, and stool samples ordered by your family doctor or specialist.
Please note that the lab is closed, daily, between 12pm and 1pm. If you have any questions regarding the use of our onsite lab please call our office and ask to speak to a lab technician during regular office hours.
Student vaccinations
Many universities across North America are now recommending, if not requiring, that students are vaccinated against meningitis and meningococcal diseases. Meningococcal comes in many strains, including A, B, C, Y, and W-135.
Although meningitis and meningococcal disease are rare, there exist certain factors that can put you at higher risk. In the young adult population and particularly with university students, living in close quarters, such as student housing or residence, can increase the risk of transmission of disease.
Rexdale Medical Centre is pleased to offer meningitis vaccinations for all university-aged students.
Menveo covers four of the meningococcal strains. The vaccine is given in one dose, at a cost of $135.
Bexsero is the only vaccine currently available to that protects against the B strain. Bexsero is given in two doses, one month apart, at a cost of $135 per dose.

No referral is needed and the appointment can be a minimum of 30 mins. The visit starts from $60 and up according to services needed.
Podiatrist
Podiatrists specialize in disorders of the foot and ankle and therefore are highly trained to examine for abnormalities of the lower extremity. Many times podiatrists are the first doctors to diagnose vascular disease, and neuropathy (numbness, burning, tingling, pain) in the lower extremities. For example, diabetes can cause both of these systemic disorders and by seeing a podiatrist, the feet, which are most affected by diabetes, can be cared for on a regular basis. Often a small problem can be diagnosed and treated at an early stage and helps prevent the condition from progressing to a more serious disorder.
We are pleased to have podiatrist, Dr. Ronald Klein join us every other Thursday afternoon. Dr. Klein will perform a complete foot exam and can recommend and make custom orthotics if necessary. He can also remove painful corns and calluses as well as manage difficult toenail infections and damaged toenails. There is a $ 45 charge which is not OHIP covered, although most private insurance plans will reimburse the visit fee. No referral is needed.
