    joeber got a reaction from ChristinaG in Question concerning Medical in Scarborough with Dr. Lee   
    Sorry this is late, Exocet. I hope your medical goes well today!
    Thanks for the responses everybody. My experience in Scarborough is as follows:
    I got there a half hour before my 9:30 AM appointment and started off by filling out a form stating my name, interview date, etc. The person for the 9 AM appointment showed up late (around 10) and so I was taken first. Seems like a first come first serve policy?
    Next I handed over my three passport photos which they kept. And my immunization record, passport, and interview letter were photocopied and given back to me.
    I waited quite a while later then since they were running behind in the office. Around 10:15 I was called into Dr. Lee's examination room. The nurse asked me to remove all my clothes and put on this paper-towel-like sheet thing. It was weird. About 15 minutes later, Dr. Lee came in and had me sign a few forms. (One of them was the required waiver for the chest x-ray because I'm pregnant.) He gave me a very brief physical examination, tested my eyesight, and asked me all about my medical history. He took my word that I had chicken pox when I was 6, and didn't ask for proof. Then he informed me that all I needed was an updated Tdap vaccine from my family doctor and I was good to go!
    Back at reception, I paid $300 cash as well as $30 for expedited courier service of my package to my home address four hours away.
    Then I was given two documents with my passport photos stapled to them: one for bloodwork and one for the x-ray.
    I went downstairs in the building for the bloodwork, took a number and had a seat. There were about 7 people ahead of me. When my number was called 20 minutes later, I handed over my document and had my blood taken. Then I headed out immediately to the x-ray clinic at 4002 Sheppard Ave E, Toronto, ON. (About 15 minute drive from Dr. Lee's office).
    This part was very fast and simple. I handed over the document, had a seat for barely 5 minutes before I was called in for the x-ray. I changed into a hospital gown and was given a double lead protective layer to cover my abdomen due to the pregnancy. The x-ray was taken and I was sent on my way.
    The next day I received my Tdap vaccine and faxed proof of it to Dr. Lee's office. Now I am awaiting my sealed medical package in the mail within the next 5 business days!
    Here's to hoping the rest of this process goes just as smoothly
