About the Metabolics program

Our clinic provides care for the following types of symptoms or diseases:

  • children with recurrent unexplained illness or progressive deterioration in physical or mental status
  • children or adults with known or suspected genetic metabolic diseases such as amino acid, fatty acid, organic acid, or sugar disorders, lysosomal storage, peroxisomal or mitochondria disorders
  • children with a positive newborn screen
  • children and adults with a positive family history of metabolic disease
  • children or adults with unexplained seizures and/or neurological dysfunction
  • children or adults with unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders (global developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, or other complex developmental-behavioural disorder) can be referred to the Neurodevelopmental Disorders Diagnostic Clinic (NDDC)

How to make an appointment

A physician referral is required. Please make sure to include the following in your referral:

  • physician's full name and phone number
  • physician's number
  • patient's name, address, and phone number
  • relevant family history (i.e. who is affected, exactly how they are related to the patient)
  • appropriate medical records (i.e. pathology reports, test results) of the patient and/or affected relatives.

Please mail or fax your referral to our office, using the contact information below.

Getting ready for your appointment

What should you bring to your appointment?

  • health card
  • relevant medical records
  • relevant dietary records
  • prescription renewal request

What happens at the metabolics clinic?

A medical student, resident or fellow might see your child first.

Then, you and your child will meet with:

  • doctors with special expertise in genetic metabolic disorders
  • dieticians who specialize in the nutrition issues of metabolic disorders
  • psychologists and social workers, if needed

What tests might you need?

We may need to perform tests, either on the same day as your visit or at a later date. These tests include:

  • blood test
  • urine test
  • x-ray or other medical imaging

If needed at later visits, more specialized testing could be requested. These tests and the results will be discussed with you at your clinic visits.

Fees

For families covered by OHIP, our services come at no cost. Please bring your child's health card to each appointment. There may be exceptions, which we will deal with on a case by case basis.
