The sports medicine physicians at Athlete’s Care either hold the GP Focused Practice Designation or are currently in the process of obtaining it. This designation recognizes physicians providing specialized sports and exercise medicine services and helps ensure that referrals do not negatively affect the billing or access bonus of referring physicians in Family Health Teams or other primary care organizations.
The physiatrists at Athlete's Care specialize in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, providing non-surgical care for injuries, pain, and conditions that affect movement and function. They work closely with our team of practitioners to create personalized treatment plans focused on recovery, pain relief, and a safe return to activity.
The orthopaedic surgeons at Athlete's Care offer consultations for both surgical and non-surgical concerns, helping patients understand their options and determine the most appropriate course of care.
Referrals are imported through our central fax system within a minimum of three business days. Please provide the referring physician/practitioner information, patient’s demographics, recent clinic notes, and relevant diagnostic imaging/labs. Fax all referral documentation to 416-479-8688.
To ensure your patient is triaged accurately and seen without delay, please include:
