We understand that unexpected situations or emergencies can happen — sometimes even simple forgetfulness — which may cause you to miss your appointment. That’s why we send multiple reminders before each visit.
If you had a scheduled appointment with your physician that you missed. In this case, you will receive an automated message from us. If this is your first missed appointment, please consider this a gentle reminder. Our physicians often make every effort to reach patients by phone, including follow-up calls when possible.
As per our clinic policy:
First missed appointment – email reminder from front desk
Second – verbal warning from your physician
Third – a $60.00 + GST no-show fee will be applied
If this was your first missed appointment and you received an automated email about a no-show fee, please contact us at admin@navamedicalcentre.ca, and our administrative team will be happy to review it.
All new diagnoses should be conducted exclusively by registered psychiatrists or specialized physicians, who independently establish and initiate appropriate, evidence-based treatment plans. Once initiated, our primary care team will oversee the patient’s ongoing management, adhering closely to the diagnosis and treatment framework. If you have a previous diagnosis, please provide us with the necessary documents confirming the diagnosis and treatment plan.
you will still be assessed the same day, except in rare situations. We deeply value your time and patience, and our team strives to be punctual. However, in our line of work, emergencies may occasionally cause delays. We appreciate your understanding and support as we aim to provide the best possible care.
We enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding any form of abuse toward clinic staff. Verbal, physical, or racial abuse, violence, threatening behavior, or discrimination will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Anyone who breaches this policy will receive an immediate warning, which may result in the loss of their family doctor and being banned from the clinic. Additionally, we reserve the right to involve law enforcement to remove offenders from the premises if necessary.
The reason you received an email from our clinic is that you were previously seen by one of our physicians at their former practice. When the physician joined Nava Medical Centre, the relevant medical information — including patient contact details such as email addresses — was securely transferred to our clinic. This is a standard practice to ensure continuity of care.
If you are no longer a patient and would prefer not to receive further communication from us, please let us know at admin@navamedicalcentre.ca and we will promptly inactivate your profile in our system, and you will no longer receive any future emails.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
