Sexual Reproductive Health ("PAP") Clinic

Services Provided

We provide appointments for women who do not have a family physician or who prefer a female physician, and for those who otherwise have difficulty accessing care. You do not require a referral.

You will be seen for a sexual and reproductive health visit. The pap test will be completed according to current guidelines. We place a strong emphasis on patient education.

We provide cervical cancer screening in the context of a "well woman" visit.

At your Sexual Reproductive Health ("PAP") appointment we may provide:
  • Cervical cancer screening (PAP Tests);
  • STI testing (screening) and education;
  • Contraceptive counseling;
  • HPV counseling;
  • Early prenatal care;
  • Blood pressure screening;
  • A full visit report can be provided to your family physician at patient request.

A separate appointment may be booked for a breast health consultation (see Breast Clinic).

Your Visit

  • You will be required to complete a patient questionnaire prior to being seen.  You can print the questionnaire from our website (see our "Resources" page), and complete and bring it with you to your appointment.
  • You must not have your menstrual period at the time of your PAP test.
  • Please allow 45 minutes to one hour for your clinic visit.  Patients may be seen by a nurse and a physician.

Abnormal results will be reviewed at a follow-up appointment.
