Welcome to Our Family Health Clinic
Kayla King is a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner (PHC-NP) with a Masters in Nursing from the University of Toronto. She is trained to provide health care over the whole lifespan from pregnancy, infancy, and to older age.
“I chose to become a nurse practitioner to incorporate the art of nursing with the science of medicine. As an NP, the relationship with my patients is as important as their health. I am privileged to be able to provide this approach to care with my patients.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose care from a Nurse Practitioner?
Currently, 3 million Canadians are already under the care of an NP. Our patients enjoy quality primary care and NP’s deliver this care. NP’s are perfectly suited for primary care because of the practical nursing and hospital-based experience they all have.
What do Nurse Practitioners do?
Nurse Practitioners provide all services you can expect to receive at a traditional family clinic, and more. Some of the services include the following: assessments, diagnosis, minor stitches, order & interpret all lab tests, order diagnostic imaging tests, consult and refer directly to specialists, and prescribe medications.
How much does it cost for a one time appointment?
We charge $80 per visit. A list of our services and prices can be found here. Appointments can be requested through the website or by phone.
Why is the service paid?
We’re a private clinic and our services are not covered by OHIP. Unfortunately, the system hasn’t yet adjusted to the way that healthcare is evolving. As nurse practitioners, OHIP currently pays for the diagnostic and laboratory tests requested, but they are unable to bill OHIP for their services.
Why don’t other nurse practitioners charge fees for their services?
The majority of NPs employed in Ontario work as part of a team in places like hospitals, community health centres, and family health teams. Their salaries are funded by specific ministry dollars. NP’s who work independently are not paid by the province.
Why do you need my OHIP info?
We need your OHIP info in case we need to order third party services, such as diagnostics and other tests.
