Rheumatology Referrals
We accept referrals from family physicians and other health-care providers.
To refer a patient to a rheumatologist at Mount Sinai, please fax the following information to the appropriate clinic or rheumatologist:
- Patient's name
- Date of birth
- OHIP number
- Contact information
- Reason for referral
Physician wait times may vary. Please note that we can accommodate corticosteroid injections if needed
Currently, we do not accept referrals for patients experiencing chronic, non-inflammatory rheumatic disorders, such as osteoarthritis; mechanical neck and lower back pain; hypermobility/Ehlers-Danlos; or fibromyalgia.
