How do I book an appointment to see a psychiatrist?

To see a psychiatrist will require a referral is sent by your family physician or nurse practitioner to Dr. Tariq M. Hassan through Ocean referral (Summit NeuroCare) or our confidential and secure fax number 613-817-4331.

If you are currently under the care of a psychiatrist who is retiring or leaving, please contact the hospital/clinic where you are being seen for information as to who will be taking over you care.

We kindly request that you do not fax any personal information to this number as this will be deleted.

The confidential fax number is only to be used by healthcare providers.

Thank you
