Referrals
A Physician referral is requried prior to booking a consultation and treatment at Alberta Reproductive Centre. For your convenience, a downloadable form has been provided below for you to present to any Physician you have seen for care. If you do not have a Family Physician, any walk-in clinic can provide a referral using the referral form. Referring providers can also upload the referral form into their Electronic Medical Records system for future use.
Please note that referring Physicians are not required to order any investigations prior to a referral.
