In BC, all pediatricians are consultants which means you need to be referred for a specific reason.  If you have a family MD, congratulations!  You can discuss your concern with them and see if a pediatric assessment is a good idea.  If you do not have a family MD, you can get a referral from a walk-in-clinic, virtual primary care or UPCC.

 All new referrals are triaged according to urgency.  If you have an urgent problem, your doctor will contact Dr. Kang's office directly to arrange an urgent assessment.  Otherwise, the current wait is 3-6 months for medical issues and 6-12 months for behavioural/mental health issues.

Yes, Dr. Kang is currently providing both in-person and virtual appointments.  In some cases, the virtual waitlist can be shorter and your child can be seen sooner.  Please let your family doctor know if you are open to a virtual appointment so that they can communicate this to Dr. Kang's staff.

It is important that your child attend the initial virtual appointment.  Follow up virtual visits may vary.  Please discuss this with Dr. Kang.

Typically, your appointment will last 30-60 minutes.  Please refrain from bringing snacks into the shared clinic space.  At this time, we do no have toys out for shared play so please bring a book or colouring supplies.

There is a public washroom in the main building of Lansdowne Professional Centre.  If you are changing a diaper in the exam room, please take the soiled diaper with you.
