Services

Family medicine

Rexdale Medical Centre is comprised of 10 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/HPV testing are recommended for all women ages 25 -70 every 5 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 40 – 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.

No wait time. No extra travel. No extra costs.

Dietitian

Rexdale Medical Centre offers nutrition specialists who counsel and support patients to make changes in their eating habits to promote health and prevent chronic illness such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, cancer. We are pleased to offer dietitian services to our clients. We have dedicated dietitians who have expertise in counselling regarding the dietary management of many disorders including obesity, diabetes and fatty liver disease. These services are covered under OHIP.

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.

Mental Health Counselling

We are pleased to offer mental health counselling to our patients in need. For those individuals struggling with anxiety or depression talking with a mental health counsellor can provide immense benefit. Patients may benefit from a single session or a series of sessions to develop better coping skills which may allow them to gain more control over their health care needs. These services are also provided at no cost to our patients.
