US Medical Review for Dr. Lyndon Mascarenhas in Toronto

[llcoolwil 99]

Hey all! 

 

I had my medical appointment with Dr. Lyndon Mascarenhas on July 4th and I couldn't have been happier with how easy it was. My appointment was at 10:15AM and because I knew I'd have to fill out a questionnaire, I arrived 30 minutes early. As soon as I came in, I said my name and she asked for my ID. I left my passport in the car (idiot! lol) and then said I would be right back. She told me that I was fine because they already had my passport scan via email and just needed another photo ID to verify I was me. IMPORTANT: Make sure you bring your DS-260! Luckily I didn't forget THAT in the car lol

 

She gave me the questionnaire right away to fill out which only took maybe 5 minutes to fill it out. I handed it back and she immediately told me to go to room 1 to await the doctor. Dr. Mascarenhas came in about 10-15 minutes later and went through my vaccine checklist, asked me about any medical conditions and medications I was on then checked off things, handed me my requisition for blood work and sent me downstairs for X-Rays. Before I left the office, I paid the $350 for the appointment and then off I went. I was done with Dr Mascarenhas and X-rays before my appointment was even scheduled to begin at 10:15. 

 

Here's where it got long - blood work. They sent me over to Life Labs across the street (next to the Pizza Pizza) to go get that part done. When I walked in, they were already at a 111 minute wait. After about 100 minutes, I was finally seen and they did what they had to do. All in all, everything took me under 2 hours. 

 

SUPER easy! And I already got the email confirmation (just today actually) that they had sent me results and what not to the consulate. I think I should be good for my August 8 interview.

Did you need to bring a medical exam letter or anything to the consulate for your interview? Dr. Mascarenhas told me he would send everything regarding the medical examination directly to the consulate.

Nope! Everything was sent to them for me. No issues.

I went to Dr. Mascarenhas for medical today. The whole process was very quick except for X-ray.  Everyone with early morning appointments had to wait for 30-45 minutes because the X-ray technologist was late today.

Good to know for a heads up to make an appointment with LifeLabs.  They're the worst for wait if you walk in without an appointment.

Is there a checklist for everything we should bring to the CR1 interview?
