CONSULTATION & EDUCATION
A consultation is first required for all teens to understand the concerns, to confirm the diagnosis, and to evaluate if investigations (ex. a sleep study) are required. After the consultation, education is provided and treatment options are discussed.
These services typically take place over 1-2 appointments*. The presence of a parent and/or caregiver is suggested for these appointments.
*Please note: During the current work-from-home circumstances, all new consultations will be arranged through the administrative staff at Dr. Ooi's other practice location, MedSleep Toronto Sleep Institute. All care is being delivered virtually.
Our services and treatment options are being updated.

What Patients Can Expect
After referral, patients are contacted by email once the referral is reviewed. They will either be invited to book a consultation or be notified that they have been placed on the waitlist (with the option to attend a virtual information session for education and initial strategies). Patients receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link for their visit and are asked to complete electronic intake forms (Clinic Policies and Intake Questionnaires) in advance.
During the consultation, patients will be provided with insight into their sleep concern, recommendations for first steps/general strategies, resources, and an understanding on their treatment options.
