Question 1

What can I book a private nurse practitioner appointment for?

Accepted Answer

Available appointments may include selected non-emergency health concerns, prescription reviews, medical forms or notes, physical examinations, diagnostic-test requisitions, and medical wellness consultations.

Question 2

Can the nurse practitioner prescribe medication?

Accepted Answer

A nurse practitioner may prescribe medication when it is clinically appropriate and within their scope of practice. A prescription is never guaranteed and depends on the assessment.

Question 3

Can the nurse practitioner order an X-ray or other diagnostic test?

Accepted Answer

A nurse practitioner may order appropriate diagnostic tests, including certain imaging, following an assessment. The imaging or test is normally completed at an outside laboratory or diagnostic facility rather than at your clinic.

Question 4

Can the nurse practitioner complete medical forms or provide a note?

Accepted Answer

Selected forms, examinations, and medical notes may be available. Completion depends on the purpose of the document, the information required, and whether the nurse practitioner can make an appropriate clinical assessment.

Question 5

Is this service covered by OHIP?

Accepted Answer

No. Nurse practitioner consultations at Evolution of Wellness are private-pay services and are not covered by OHIP. Pricing is listed above and confirmed before booking.

Question 6

Can I walk in without an appointment?

Accepted Answer

No. Appointments must be arranged in advance because the nurse practitioner is not continuously on-site.

Question 7

Is this an urgent-care or emergency service?

Accepted Answer

No. The service is intended for selected non-emergency concerns. Anyone experiencing severe, rapidly worsening, or emergency symptoms should seek appropriate urgent or emergency care.

Question 8

Will I receive a prescription, test requisition, or medical document at my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Every request depends on the nurse practitioner’s assessment, clinical judgment, available information, and whether the requested service is appropriate.

Question 9

What should I bring to the appointment?

Accepted Answer

Bring identification, a current medication list, relevant health information, and any forms or instructions that need to be reviewed. Arriving prepared helps the nurse practitioner use the appointment time effectively.

Question 10

Will I need a follow-up appointment?

Accepted Answer

Some concerns can be addressed in one appointment, while others may require follow-up, testing, referral, or care from another provider. The nurse practitioner will explain the recommended next steps.
