New Referrals
A physician referral is required by the British Columbia medical services plan (MSP) to see an Orthopaedic Specialist. Any physician may fax a referral on behalf of a patient to our office at fax number (604)905-4073. Referrals are reviewed and prioritized by Dr. Brooks-Hill.  Our office assistant will call the patient directly to organize an appointment time when it comes available.

There are 2 types of referrals:

1)  Elective Referrals
For all elective orthopaedic care, Dr. Brooks-Hill’s administrative office will call patients directly when an appointment time comes available.
**PLEASE NOTE: Your appointment may be postponed if all relevant information is not available to Dr. Brooks-Hill during your visit. It is the responsibility of the patient to organize all condition related information prior to the appointment.**

2) Urgent Referrals
For all urgent orthopaedic care, referrals are sent to the fracture clinic and appointments are arranged by the fracture clinic staff. » For more information please see: Fracture Clinic
