Your first visit
What happens at a first appointment, what to bring, the full skin examination, and how results are returned.
DermCare is a medical dermatology clinic in Mississauga. Assessment and treatment are covered by OHIP and require a referral from your family physician, nurse practitioner or a specialist. This section explains how to get a referral, what happens at your visit, how phototherapy visits work, how to find us, and your rights as a patient.
We are not able to book an appointment directly with a patient. Ask your family physician, nurse practitioner or another specialist to fax a referral to us. Once it has been reviewed by one of our dermatologists we will call you to book. Please make sure your doctor's office has your current telephone number. If you do not have a family doctor, a walk in clinic can refer you.
There is no charge for assessment or treatment covered by OHIP. Bring your valid Ontario health card to every visit.
