Rheumatology Referrals

Please see our referral criteria to make a referral to Rheumatology.

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.
