Oh sure NOW they add one who is 5 minutes from where I lived!

I called Dr. Randall T. Lee's office and it costs $300. Since it's in scarborough, I'm pretty sure its free parking. Scarborough is less crowded than downtown BUT it's out of the city making a little difficult to get to; you'd need to bus it there. The one in Vaughn is pretty far north from downtown Toronto. You'd def need to drive or be prepared to take the TTC and than switch to the York transit line..not sure on that cost or travel time.

Where are you coming from?

lmao they are all clumped together.

Hilarious.

But here's my questions.

1- are they cheaper/more expensive/same cost

2- Are those (2) new cities in ontario less populated cities than toronto?

Because I considered taking the train just to avoid traffic since toronto appts are SUPER early in the morning.

Idk... I suppose there's still traffic on the highway, but I notice there's a split a good distance from toronto going off the 403 to the 407 so maybe it's driveable?

Plus, I thought, train would be better for toronto then I don't have to pay for parking.

Are those other cities pay-for-parking type cities?

looks like if i want to avoid population, i go to Vaughan

I agree. I wonder if it would be cheaper to pop over to Toronto for 2 days, get a medical, then up to Montreal over night for the interview. I'll have to look into costs once I get an interview date. Medisys needs 3 days I think.

COME TO TORONTO... make sure I'm actually there though!! I am back and forth still for a few more weeks!

[Ms Hogan 295]

You'd be hard pressed to find a town or city that isn't pay for parking. :/ So annoying. You may just have to call for prices. They aren't uniform just tend to be over $250 for the old ones.

Also I think taking the train if you go in is a good idea. I remember my one and only experience with driving into Toronto traffic and being stuck on a bridge in Hamilton for HOURS. That was in 1994 though.

In Vaughan you won't have to pay for parking. And possibly not in Scarborough either BUT it is the far East side of Toronto KDH so you're not going to save yourself any trouble. I know where you're coming from and Vaughan might be a better location for you. You'll wind up coming pretty far North after you get off the highway but it won't be as bad as driving downtown. Cost-wise for gas/train/parking etc I don't think you're going to find much difference so just do what you find convenient. Check with the timing for their appointments too. They might be offering them only at specific times as well.

OK hang on, I just looked the guy up in Vaughan... he's BARELY in Vaughan. I can see the office he's in FROM MY PARENTS' HOUSE! OK I have to stand on the roof to see it but that's how close it is!!

[NikLR 13,227]

Gotta call tomorrow to see if I have an interview date. They're closed now. I tried.

[The Mean Lady 604]

Receptionist at Vaughan is a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-

Cost is $300.

Won't do it without the interview letter /sad because I wanted to take memorial day to go do it

Darn!

And wow, $300? That's almost $100 more than Medisys (and I believe Dr Seidens).

Nope, I'm pretty sure Seiden is 300 or 325 something like that.

yeah 300

I just booked mine at medisys. I do have an appt at seiden too but I'm not going. They're first come first serve anyhow.

[The Mean Lady 604]

vaughan is appts only.

The lady was really rude.

I'm still brooding.

Well, back two years ago when I was doing my medical, they were the same price. Definitely have gone up though.

[hikergirl 277]

Dr. Seiden was $300/ea & $50 to courier the results if you didn’t want to come back to pick it up.

Not cheap - but I got a wonderful mini-vacation with my kidlet.

[The Mean Lady 604]

I wonder if I'll be the first person to hit up Vaughan on VJ
