Important Notice – Telephone System Issues
The issues with our telephone system at the Orléans clinic are ongoing, and we continue to work on resolving them.
If you are a patient of the Orléans clinic and need to reach our team, please temporarily call our Overbrook clinic at 613-745-2228. Our team will be able to assist you and direct your request to the appropriate person, as needed.
We are actively working to implement a new telephone system to replace our current system and restore reliable telephone service.
We understand that this situation may be frustrating, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this transition.
