Medical review: Dr Lyndon Mascarenhas (Toronto)

[kasiz 9]

It was very easy to schedule an appointment, all you have to do is just email them and they are able to accommodate any appointment requests very well. I had my interview scheduled for Tuesday, August 11th at 2:45pm.

I had to drive in from out of town, so I had to find a place to park. I heard that there was a parking lot across the steer but there is a lot of constriction going on so I didn't find it. I ended up going around the block and parking on Melgund Rd really close to the medical centre. There were signs saying that it's 1 hour parking only but I didn't get a ticket and other cars were there before me and stayed longer than I did so I guess it's not too strictly enforced.

You need to go up to the third floor to get to the office of Dr Mascarenhas. I got there at 1:30pm just in case and right away they took my documents ( 1 passport photo, record of vaccinations and passport) and had me go downstairs to the first floor to get the chest X-ray. It look maybe 5 minutes and then I was back to the third floor waiting to see the doctor. I was sitting in the waiting room for maybe 10 minutes and then they brought me into one of the "examination" rooms. I waited there for around 10 minutes also until Dr Mascarenhas came in. The chat with him took 5 minutes, he just asked me if I was healthy and such and took my blood pressure. I also gave him the $300 and the $50 courier fee for my paperwork to be sent back to me. He then told me to go across the street to get my blood taken.

It was a very quick walk to get the blood work done and it was a short wait after I got there. After getting my blood taken I was all done and it was 2:30pm, much earlier than my 2:40pm appointment time. I don't know if they do this all the time but from my experience it seems like you can show up early if you can and have the whole thing done quicker.

I received my results via Purolator Express on Tuesday, August 18th, so it took exactly one week. Overall it was a pretty quick and painless experience, so I would recommend getting your medical done here if it's convenient for you.

Good to know!

I will be heading there tomorrow to get mine done. I'm nervous and also pretty stoked.

For the letter with the Name, Case Number & Interview Date, were they talking about the confirmation e-mail from when you scheduled your interview?

I brought with me the confirmation email that had all of the information, my MTL number and the interview date. I think that's what you need, but I'm not 100% sure because they never asked to see it. They did want my registration #, which is the 3 digit number that you get after registering for them online.

Don't be nervous, it's a breeze!
