About your appointment

CHEO's Pediatric Medicine Clinic is located in C-1 (Main building, level two - main floor). You will need to bring the following items to your appointment:

• health card
• any medications

If our Pediatric Medicine Clinic is not able to address your appointment in a timely manner, your referral will be sent to CHEO-associated pediatricians in the community. This is done to accommodate a high volume of referrals.

Please note, our Pediatric Medicine Clinic cannot guarantee an appointment within a certain period of time.
