On Dr. Laura Cruz

Do I need a referral?

Why a referral may be needed?

A referral is needed to help provide the treating sport medicine doctor with the whole story. This will maximize the time with the physician who will be able to evaluate what has been done to date and and how to best move forward.

Has the injury been previously assessed?

If an injury has previously been diagnosed or investigated by another health care practitioner, a referral will be required to see a Sport Doc at LiveActive. This additional information will often include a summary of any treatment recommendations, a current diagnosis, and any progress that has occured.

What is included in a referral

A consultation request, or referral, will share important information like imaging reports or other important tests as well. This will help the doctor identify what has been done already to help build a path forward. A consult note will be prepared for the referring doctor to ensure they are informed of any changes to your care plan.

Communication

Following your appointment with a sport medicine doctor, a consultation note will be provided to your family physician. This will keep everyone in your circle of care informed with all of the recommendations to help you get back to active.

When I don't...

When I don't need a referral

For new injuries and acute concussions, patients do not need a refferal and our clinic coordinators in Etobicoke or Toronto will help coordinate an appointment as soon as possible.

Online Booking

Due to the nature of OHIP covered visits and the additional details that we need to discuss with you, appointments can only be booked over the phone or by email.

Communication

If you choose to do any additional rehab at LiveActive, the sport medicine doctor will communicate with your treating therapists their findings and recommendations for care.
