Is there a cost associated with any of the procedures performed at the clinic?

I want to see an ENT surgeon. How can I make an appointment?

If you are interested in a cosmetic procedure with our ENT surgeon, contact us today for more information to arrange a private consultation. If you have general concerns regarding your head and neck health, your family doctor or nurse practitioner will need to send a referral to our clinic, and we will see you in a fast and efficient manner. If you do not have a family doctor, please click here (link out to contact us page) to inquire about booking an appointment with one of our general practitioners who would be happy to see you. Our family doctors can help determine if you need an assessment by the surgeon.
