How to Become a Patient

We accept physician referrals and direct visits. Your doctor can send a referral, or you can contact us directly — we will help you schedule an initial consultation.

1

Referral or Direct Contact

Ask your family doctor or another physician to send a referral through our secure clinical channels (see the physician referrals page). Prefer to reach out yourself? Email info@epionepain.com to request an initial consultation as a direct visit.

2

We Review & Contact You

Our team reviews each referral and direct inquiry promptly. We will contact you to schedule your initial consultation at a time that works for you.

3

Your First Consultation

Dr. Rahimi conducts a comprehensive assessment, reviews your history, performs a physical exam, and discusses treatment options tailored to your condition.

4

Personalized Treatment Plan

Together, we develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific pain condition, goals, and preferences. Treatment may begin the same day in many cases.

What to Bring

To make the most of your first visit, please bring the following items.

Ontario Health Card

Your valid OHIP card for covered services.

Photo ID

A government-issued photo ID to verify your identity.

Medication List

A complete list of all current medications, dosages, and supplements.

Imaging Results

Any X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, or other imaging on CD or USB.

Previous Medical Records

Reports from other specialists, surgical notes, or relevant test results.

Insurance Information

Extended health benefit or workplace insurance details for non-OHIP services.

What to Expect

Your initial consultation typically lasts 30-45 minutes. Dr. Rahimi will take the time to thoroughly understand your pain condition, its history, and how it affects your daily life.

The visit includes a comprehensive physical examination, review of all imaging and test results, and a detailed discussion about diagnosis and treatment options. We encourage you to ask questions and share your concerns openly.

In many cases, we can begin treatment on the same day as your consultation. For procedures that require scheduling, our team will arrange the earliest available appointment.

After your visit, we send a detailed report to your family doctor or referring physician, when you have one, to keep them informed about your care plan and progress.
